A former Premier League cult hero who famously netted a hat-trick in the Champions League against Barcelona now lives a very different life following hanging up his football boots.
Faustino Asprilla is best known in England thanks to a move in early 1996 to Kevin Keegan's Newcastle United.
At the time, the Magpies were in a title race with Manchester United under Sir Alex Ferguson and it was the campaign where Keegan had his famous outburst of 'I would love it if we beat them! Love it!' during a live post-match interview on Sky Sports as the pressure built and built.
Asprilla joined a Newcastle side bursting with talent and also included the likes of Les Ferdinand, David Ginola, Peter Beardsley and Rob Lee.

He signed for a transfer fee of £6.7m from Serie A outfit Parma and he went on to score three goals in 15 matches across the second half of the season as Newcastle ended the Premier League campaign as runners-up to United.
Overall, Asprilla went on to score 18 goals in 61 matches for the Magpies, with perhaps one of his most memorable moments for the St James' Park side coming in September 1997 where he scored a hat-trick in a 3-2 victory against Barcelona.
However, Asprilla was sold back to Parma in January 1998 for £6m and his club career later involved spells at teams across Central and South America.

This included playing for Palmeiras, Fluminense, Atlante, Atletico Nacional, Universidad de Chile, Estudiantes La Plata and finally Cortulua.
Asprilla also scored 20 goals in 57 caps for Colombia, which places him fourth on his country's all-time top goalscorers list behind Radamel Falcao, James Rodriguez and Arnoldo Iguaran, and retired from international duty in 2001.
Asprilla has now been retired from professional football following an announcement in July 2009, though he hadn't played for five years.
And now the 52-year-old leads a very different life now he has hung up his boots.

Asprilla now runs a condom business which he established back in 2016 and are branded 'Tino', as well as selling sugar cane made on his own farm in Tulua, the Daily Mail reports.
A more recent version of the contraception which has launched is a flavour which Asprilla says is inspired by the aroma of a passion fruit tree.
The retired forward - who has previously admitted he is not made for a life of monogamy - said: "Sex has always been important to me.
"I am Asprilla: lots of sex, no rules and pure life."
