The best footballers in the world command big wages, respect and the admiration of men and women alike who appreciate their athleticism, skill levels and maybe sometimes their looks and charm. It is perhaps unsurprising then that many have the best looking wives and girlfriends (wags) around. Often drawn from the ranks of top models, actresses and singers, these wags have become a part of the industry in their own right, admired as much as their soccer player other halves by many fans (well, almost).
