Football and fashion has already had its success this year when AC Milan was dressed to impress by Dolce&Gabbana, click HERE for more, and defied those who say that these two worlds don't mix. The relationship between soccer and style isn't new to the world and Ashley Cole has been showing us his style skills for some time now and it looks like he has still got it!

Whether it is on your pencil case, your phone's ring tone, your bag, screen saver or even the food you eat, people are proud to express to us who they like, admire or fancy. Looking sharp and relaxed, the Chelsea  FC star, was seen relaxing in LA taking a well earned break from his busy on pitch career. Ashley is famous in his own right but it looks like he has opted for another famed face to help him in the style stakes. His t-shirt is emblazoned with timeless hero Marlon Brando, a face we know and love well which can be found on anything from posters, mugs, belts and, as displayed by Cole, t-shirts. And it seems that Cole is a mega fan...

This isn’t the only time that his hero has helped him out. Seen last year in a black version, Ashley Cole, used Marlon to complete his look and tell us who he is loving. So it goes to show that, not only, can last season's threads look just as good as they did when they first hit the shops but also a hero helps one feel good. Who is your hero and how would you wear them?
