PREMIER League stars are not too concerned about global warming, if their favourite drives this year are any indication.

In the annual 'stars and their cars' survey by Nuts magazine, the footballers are seen favouring fuel-guzzling, high-end vehicles.

Adam Ralph, Nuts staff writer, said: 'As ever the list of the most popular cars reads like every man's Top 10 favourite cars.

'It is interesting to see the number of 4x4s increase but, with the amount of shopping our players and their wives and girlfriends do, perhaps they need the extra space.'

Ferrari and Lambo didn't made it to top 10.

You can roughly tell who are the car fans and big spenders.

John Terry.. the f**ker has a few on that list. Cristiano Ronaldo also.
