CRISTIANO LUCARELLI<br /><br />He may only warm the bench on Saturday for Italy, but if it's controversy you're after, look no further than Lucarelli. The Shakhtar Donetsk striker recently left his club, Livorno, after a falling-out with the chairman. Arguably, he was just too passionate.<br /><br />Two years ago, he paid the transport home for scores of Livorno fans who had been arrested at an away game, and along with as AS Livorno logo tattoo, favours number 99 on his jersey, a homage to the ultras group, Brigate Autonome Livornesi.<br /><br />Like Paolo Di Canio, his skill is often undermined by his rash behaviour. But whereas the former Celtic player favoured right-wing politics, Lucarelli is an avid communist and an admirer of Che Guevara - his mobile phone ringtone is the tune of The Red Flag.Joolshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04420781697398768674noreply@blogger.com
