Wolfsburg striker, Marcelinho, certainly has a way with the ladies. Remember Joey Barton's technique with the lasses that catch his eye?

It's seemingly Footballers' Wives whenever Jermain Defoe's around. This time his former lady, Danielle Lloyd, who's been pretty much been passed around the top London sides like a spitoon, goes ape shit over something to do with the pint-sized Pompey boy.
