Footballers Get Their Kit Off

If you don't want to see male partial nudity, look away now. Footballers David James, Nigel Reo-Coker and Shaun Wright-Phillips have stripped for charity.

I'd also point out that the following is a press release, and not my own words!

Portsmouth and England goalkeeper David James, Chelsea and England winger Shaun Wright-Phillips and Aston Villa midfielder Nigel Reo-Coker are among the sexy male celebrities who have dared to bare all for Cosmopolitan's annual 'Naked Centrefolds Special'.

'When it comes to health, women remain pivotal in encouraging men to be self-aware,' said Hannah Crabtree, Communications Manager at the Everyman Campaign. 'Cosmopolitan's Naked Centrefolds have consistently proven to be a fun and effective way of raising awareness of a very serious issue. Through its Centrefolds activity, Cosmopolitan has helped raise vital funds for the 37,000 men a year diagnosed with male cancer.'

The Everyman Campaign is run by The Institute of Cancer Research to raise awareness of, and funds for research into, male cancer at the Everyman Centre – Europe's first and only centre dedicated to male cancer research.
