Cisse - Stevie G wears my undies
By James Carroll Date: 10/4/2006
Djibril Cisse has rather worryingly revealed how captain Steven Gerrard likes to parade around the Melwood changing rooms in the Frenchman's underpants.
Cisse is known for his flamboyant style of clothing and says that he has a particular penchant for unusual undies, which Gerrard is fond of trying on.
"Here at Liverpool it's Stevie G who teases me about my clothes," explains Cisse. "Sometimes I go to the showers, and when I come back he is wearing my clothes."
"I have funny underwear, like zebra print, so he puts on my underpants and walks around the dressing room in them."
"All the players tease me about my shoes. I like pointy shoes, snakeskin pointy shoes. But I think I have influenced some of the Liverpool players in their choice of dress. They're less shy to try out different styles now."
"Footballers are more adventurous with their clothes there days, but I've always worn what I want so for me nothing's changed," added the French international.
"I understand people can be shocked by what I choose to wear - it's unusual, so people talk about it. Maybe they think it's too much."
"People seem to think that I dress the way I do to be noticed, but it's not because I'm a famous footballer - I have dressed this way since I was young."
