random selfpic hotness

Something a little different for today's Random Hotness... usually I don't do "silly celebrity with a camera has embarrassing photos posted on the internet" posts... but when these pictures floated across my email this morning, this guy seemed so cute and kinda docile, so I wanted to work out who he was and where these shots had come from...

Thank goodness for Google and a site called Football-Chat... this is a slightly cropped down version of what they posted, but you get the idea...

"Premiership star Matthew Bates is kicking himself after shots he took of his tackle ended up on the internet. The Middlesbrough player's trophy has been admired by millions of men after the pics were put on gay websites.

It is unclear how the photos - taken by Bates in front of mirrors - were posted on the net. One snap shows him posing in a skimpy pair of underpants in a bathroom. The other shows him completely naked in a bedroom.

But on one website a fan called Chris claims they were put on the internet by a girl Bates had a row with. Yesterday a string of men rushed to praise the 19-year-old defender - who is not gay.

Last night the footballer was unavailable for comment - and his club refused to talk about the pictures."

God bless mobile phones with digital cameras... and young, dumb football players...
