Usually when footballers make a move to the MLS - one of the first things they notice is how they can walk the streets of their new home without being mobbed or even recognised. Robbie Keane has enjoyed this particular aspect of L.A., even being mistaken by journalists on several occasions.
Not for the MLS' latest import - the legendary Andrea Pirlo. The man oozes style and seems right at home in New York. He's one footballer that is in demand in the US - even taking a moment to take this picture with a fan yesterday:

The eagle-eyed among you will have noticed that is a suspiciously-blonde looking U2 frontman - who are currently approaching the end of their eight-date concert run in New York City. Whatever you think about Bono, there's no doubt that for a 55 year old he's still looking fairly sprightly.
If you're able to get away with dressing like him at that age, you're doing something right. However, when you're standing beside Andrea Pirlo, it is inevitably bad for your image. One photo with the Italian and Bono has aged 10 years, and looks seriously uncool by comparison.
