Leicester defender Danny Simpson dashed back to his home city of Manchester in his stunning new Lamborghini Aventador.
The Foxes right back, who earns £35,000 a week, treated himself to the luxury motor last week and made the trip north to take it for a spin to Deansgate in Manchester's city centre.
Simpson, who hails from Eccles in Greater Manchester, joined a list of famous faces who own the £400,000 car, including former Manchester United team-mate Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 30-year-old would previously have been seen making the trip in his £105,000 BMW i8 — a gift he, along with the rest of the squad, received from Leicester chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha for winning the Premier League in 2016.
However, the all-blue fleet of BMWs were causing some confusion at Leicester's training ground and some opted to change the colour — Jeffrey Schlupp had his car sprayed matte black before others followed suit.
Simpson, however, will stand out when he rocks up to the club's Belvoir Drive training complex in his vividly red Aventador, where caretaker manager Michael Appleton has taken the reins following the sacking of Craig Shakespeare.
Shakespeare's departure comes after the Foxes managed to wrestle a point from West Brom on Monday amid a poor start to the campaign.
Appleton's first game as interim boss will see him travel to south Wales to face fellow strugglers Swansea in an important clash at the Liberty Stadium on Saturday.
