It appears that football fans don't mind a bit of scandal, as shirts emblazoned with Man Utd star Ryan Gigg's name and number 11 have soared in the past season.
Sporting Intelligence released a list of the the top ten replica shirts sales for the 2010-11 season, and Ryan Giggs has entered the list for the first time ever despite his infamous sex scandal and super-injunction debacle that sparked a global debate on libel law and Twitter.
Maybe it's made him more of a legend with fans, or just brought more attention to his sporting skills, but he's certainly made an impression!
The full top 10 is as follows:
1. Wayne Rooney (+2 spots from 2009/10)
2. Fernando Torres (-1)
3. Steven Gerrard (-1)
4. Chicharito (new entry)
5. Robin van Persie (re-entry, last on the list in 2007/08)
6. Frank Lampard (-)
7. Didier Drogba (-)
8. Luis Suarez (new entry)
9. Andrei Arshavin (-4)
10. Ryan Giggs (new entry)
