Two of the most skilful Premier League footballers of their eras together in a little dingy boat, hunting for fish. It paints quite a picture, trying to imagine the diminutive Italian saddled alongside the 5ft 7in peering over the edge of a boat. Unfortunately for the Columbian, his fishing date with his Chelsea counterpart did not go so well, as he ended up breaking Zola's fishing stationery.
"We were at Zola's house in Sardinia with Gigi Apolloni, Georges Grun, and I think Matrecano. I was given a fishing rod for when the boat is moving, but instead we were fishing with the stationary. So when I cast, the line got so tangled that I spent the whole day - literally the whole day in knots. Ugh, it was horrible. All the others fished. Not me... But it was just an accident, I promise!" - Faustino Asprilla, February 2008.
Oh Faustino... So, that's a wrap. As always, feel free to leave your thoughts and opinions in the comment section below.

Have made a significantly insignificant playing career out of receiving several slaps around the head for not passing the ball.
