Football star Freddie Ljungberg is the sportsman that most gay men would like to score with, according to a magazine poll.
The hunky Arsenal soccer player has been named Hottest Football Stud for the second year in a row by readers of gay magazine Attitude.
And Swedish Freddie, 28, whose body has been projected onto billboards across the world as part of a Calvin Klein advertising campaign, says he's thrilled with the accolade.
But he made it clear that he was more of a ladies' man: "I am not gay. If I was I would just say I was and it wouldn’t bother me. I know lots of gay people. As for fans, I take them where I can get them!"
He added that people are more likely to talk to him about his looks than football.
"In America, where of course there is so little interest in soccer, I have become the Calvin Klein ad man," he said.
"People stop me in the street and I expect a conversation about football, but all they want to talk about is the underwear!"
Chelsea's Joe Cole, 24, scooped the second position in the poll, while Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, 25, came third.
