We have another contender for the weirdest thing that a footballer has done in retirement.
Newcastle United's former striker, Faustino Asprilla, will be launching a range of 'fruity' condoms back in his home country of Colombia.
Speaking to a local radio station, Asprilla said:
“Some friends of mine in Medellin came up with the flavoured condoms idea, and I thought it would be fun to help out. I’ve always loved guava, because we had a tree outside my house growing up.”
“The main goal for me, really, is to support a campaign to prevent Aids and teen pregnancies, with a line of condoms.”
Here's a first look at 'Tino Condones'.

Asprilla – now 44 – was a member of Kevin Keegan's famous 'Entertainers' team that threw away the Premier League title in 1996/97.
The condoms are currently in production and should be available next year.
Watch out, David Beckham.

It turns out that Asprilla isn't that much of a trend setter after all.
