The 2009/10 football season is well and truly under way, with both the Champions League and Premier League kicking-off. But, which players trained the hardest in pre-season and have started the new season the sharpest, and what football boots are they choosing to wear...
WILLIAM GALLAS
Nike Vapor Superfly football boots
Two goals in two games isn't a bad return from a defender! And even though his goal lastnight may have been a fluke, Gallas was quick enough in Nike Superfly football boots to dart across the box and be in the right place at the right time.

SIMON VUKCEVIC
adidas Predator Power football boots
This goal celebration saw Vukcevic sent off for a second yellow card, moments after drawing his team level at home to Fiorentina from adidas Predator Power football boots.

ALBERTO GILARDINO
Nike T90 Laser II football boots
Gilardino is a previous winner of the Champions League, and his goal at Sporting Lisbon in a first leg 2-2 draw may be a crucial away goal, which ensures Fiorentina's progression to the group stages. Gilardino is just one of a host of players wearing the black pack Nike Laser football boots.

TIMO GEBHART
adidas adiPure II football boots
The white/cardinal adiPure football boots were released earlier in the year to celebrate the Champions League competition. Fitting then, that Stuttgart's Gebhart was on target from the penalty spot as his side beat Politehnica Timisoara 2-0 away from home in the first leg of their qualifier.

DECO
Umbro Speciali football boots
A great goal from Deco as he placed the ball perfectly into the far corner of the goal, as Chelsea defeated Sunderland 3-1. We're expecting a lot from the new Umbro Speciali football boots this season, as Umbro have put all their sponsored players in these soft leather boots.

ANDY KEOGH
Nike Vapor V Football Boots
A proud moment for Andy Keogh as he scored his first Premier League goal, and gave Wolves their first Premier League victory of the 2009/10 Premier League season. Wearing the new Vapor V football boots, Keogh arrived in the box and rose highest to head the ball into the far corner for a 1-0 victory at Wigan.
