    AS newspaper prints brilliant picture of Faustino Asprilla on a horse by a pool

    It turns out the former Newcastle player is a big fan of equestrian activities

    Faustino Asprilla's cult status has just been solidified.
    The former Newcastle winger endeared himself to English football fans during his time on Tyneside thanks to his gangly runs down the wing and ever-present grin.
    Despite being at St James' Park for just a couple of years he's managed to remain on the radar, perhaps in part due to him launching a range of flavoured condoms. "I’ll recommend the guava flavour," he said at the time.
    His recent thoughts on countryman and Manchester United striker Radamel Falcao haven't gone unnoticed either.
    Those not in the cult of Faustino Asprilla probably will be after the publication of today's AS newspaper.
    In an interview with the Spanish newspaper which chiefly focuses on the Colombian's time with current Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti when they worked together at Parma, a picture of the 45-year-old was published alongside it which demonstrated just what a character Asprilla is.
    It sees him straddled upon a horse by the side of a swimming pool. With hand on hip, the eccentric former footballer is wearing a pork pie hat as well as a rather funny expression.

    Probably his best photo since that fur coat he wore when he signed for the Toon in the snow

    Top man. That fur coat. Him bonking that Italian porn star. Shooting his guns at New Year. Not to mention that bamboozling of Neil Cox, the lob v Liverpool and his hat trick against Barca. Just a shame we never really saw the best of him, particularly in the league.

    Can we sign him up on a short term contract until the end of the season?
