Rui Costa: Classing Up the Joint

By: Lotte Cox | October 15th, 2008

Portuguese legend. Fiorentina legend. Milan legend. Benfica legend. Wore his socks better than anyone who ever has or ever will play football. Really, the man was — and is — verging on perfection.

Not conventionally handsome, no, but positively erupting with magnetism and personality and passion, all of which make him buckets more appealing than certain unnamed, much prettier boys who may or may not play for his country.

Lots and lots (and lots) of evidence under the cut.

Thank you, Milan, for your D&G photo shoots, which make anyone look like generic Sex Personified.

Net p0rn. (Lucky post.)

… Just plain p0rn.

Really, referee? You’re sure about that?

You can also tell he’s a Real Man, because he looks this good with a hangover.

These are from after Milan lost a certain CL final to Liverpool. It’s a wonder they’re even ambulatory.

(Possibly not hung over this time, but still rocking the look.)

Oh, and he also has great taste in friends.

Like, really great taste.

(Taste which is obviously appreciated by said friends.)

[The next three pics with get huge if you click them]

The best thing about him is that, when he retired, he didn’t leave!

Now he’s Benfica’s Sporting Director, which means a lot of hanging around looking perfect.

“You! Love me. I demand it!”

  Gotta say, he is a very good looking man. I think he is actually pretty handsome and, courtesy of D&G, fashionable =P

  (Oh, and I’d just like to say “no homo” for all of my posts. What? a straight guy can’t see when other men are good looking?)
  (and oh(again), no, I’m not in denial =P)

  @Mele,

  Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

  OK, I know I’m obsessed, but I though this was Billy.

  Okay, I know I shouldn’t poke holes in perfection, but in that top picture does it look to anybody else like he’s got a breast poking out from under the shorts on his left leg? Or is it just me?

  Yes, Laurie, it does.
