"Equally lacking in humour were Michael Ballack and Oliver Kahn after German erotic retailer Beate Uhse attempted to cash in on World Cup fever last year by launching a special line of 17cm vibrators. Three went by the names of 'Michael B', 'Ollie K' and 'David B'. "This is a clear violation of image rights," raged Kahn's lawyer. "We will take action." Despite the company's protestation that "we never had any intention to make a connection between the vibrators on sale in our shops with [the players]," a judge forced them to pay Kahn and Ballack €50,000 and remove the items from sale. David Bentley never pursued the case."
