Stars of Facebook

It seems even football hasn't escaped the global domination of Facebook, but who are the most popular players with the greatest following and which players need more fans!

We've picked five of our favourite player pages for current stars, and five pages from retro players who've gained a cult following on the 'book, but don't quite have the same popularity as their modern counterparts!

CRISTIANO RONALDO 14,626,892 FANS

ANDRES INIESTA 2,850,478 FANS

STEVEN GERRARD 2,180,174 FANS

WAYNE ROONEY 1,766,252 FANS

DIDIER DROGBA 1,130,654 FANS

Unsurprisingly, it's Cristiano Ronaldo who is the most popular footballer on Facebook with a huge following of over 14 million fans, slightly embarassing his fellow pro's who are some way behind! Interestingly, we couldn't find a page for the player you'd think would challenge Cristiano's superiority - Lionel Messi. But after scouring Facebook for today's most popular players, we thought we'd have a bit of fun and check out the popularity of some of our favourite players from yesteryear...

PAUL GASCOIGNE 74,029 FANS

ROBERTO BAGGIO 9,563 FANS

TONY ADAMS 6,172 FANS

ROMARIO 774 FANS

MATT LE TISSIER 85 FANS

Football News - Nike Vapor overtakes adidas Predator! - 12/05/09

Editor — Tue, 12 May 2009 11:32:00 GMT

The introduction of Nike Mercurial Vapor Superfly football boots onto Premier League football pitches, has seen Nike Vapor overtake adidas Predator football boots as the league's top goalscoring boot!

Ever since the arrival of the Superfly such wearers as Cristiano Ronaldo, Robinho and Andrei Arshavin have regularly been finding the back of the net, which has helped the Nike Mercurial Vapor range to shoot past their closest rival the adidas Predator.

But with only a couple of games left in the Premier League, can the likes of Steven Gerrard and Dimitar Berbatov pull it back for the Predator, and will the Puma v1.08 be able to break into the Nike and adidas dominated top five?

Our exclusive SoccerBible stats have the goals contribution of every football boot in the Premier League, so you can see how your favourite football boots are performing:
