Yesterday, I wrote something about Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge and his recently developed penchant for brimmed hats, complicated trousers, photogenic food and singers who'll probably be used to help "keep Jools relevant" this year. The central premise of the piece is that he is the only "hipster" footballer who has emerged in recent years – or at least the only one who seems interested in fashion beyond All Saints and music beyond Swedish House Mafia. And then I argued that, whatever you might think about hipsters, football – with its media training and its booze bans – holds players back from developing their own cultural and emotional identities. Which is why the vast majority end up as man-children with really bad taste in everything.S/o to vice magazine noticing I'm being myself cause that's the key to my happiness…. http://t.co/ly2UOX8pg0… pic.twitter.com/NSI89ITebt
