'I can't use them all!' - Ex-Newcastle star Asprilla announces condom promotion to combat coronavirus

Ex-Newcastle United and Colombia forward Faustino Asprilla is doing his part to ease the strains of the coronavirus outbreak in his native country - by selling his condoms at a special promotional price.

Asprilla lit up the Premier League with the Magpies during his playing days and also represented his nation at two World Cups, as well as enjoying a hugely successful spell in Italy with Parma.

While he might have hung up his boots more than 15 years ago, he continues to make headlines in Colombia thanks to his exuberant personal life, prompting a massive manhunt last year when his prize bull Lagrimon was 'kidnapped' by cattle rustlers and, happily, later returned to an overjoyed Tino.
