Germany surrenders to 'Il Bomber'

There is a saying in German football: Money does not score goals. However, when it comes to Luca Toni, there may be an exception to that rule.

An €11m signing from ACF Fiorentina in the summer of 2007, the Italian international hit the ground running with a goal 14 minutes into Bayern's first game of the season, a 3-0 win against FC Hansa Rostock, and has been delighting fans throughout Germany.
His winning smile, matinée idol looks, outgoing personality and friendly ways are also earning him plenty of admiring glances, regardless of his relationship with Italian model Marta Cecchetto.
