From Picasso's pet monkey to the innocence of dreams Premier League stars turn to self-portraiture to raise money for charity

Wayne Rooney is the Picasso of English football, or at least Picasso's pet monkey, left in the studio one afternoon with some new felt pens while the master was at the bullfight, to judge from his self-portrait. He's come up with something quite unforgettable in its fauve use of colour. That free-drawn circle of a face, those massive red lips and almond eyes with huge blue discs of pupils … well, they're unforgettable as I say.
