Flavio Briatore should have been wearing a Santa's beard when he touched down for Christmastime on the coast of Kenya.

The Renault boss, who has arrived in east Africa to spend the forthcoming holidays at his Lion In The Sun resort, had a Christmas gift in store for the local football team Zege FC.

Italian Briatore, 58, who co-owns the London club Queens Park Rangers, gave new uniforms and balls to the players.

"I saw these players playing bare feet at Mayungu when I walked around and promised to assist them with sports equipment," he is quoted as saying by the local Daily Nation newspaper.

He also said a container full of sports equipment for local schools and institutions is en route.


"This is just something small that I brought with me. Many more items are coming in one months' time," Briatore, who said a partnership between Kenyan teams and Queens Park Rangers could be set up, revealed.

Thats a nice act.

 

Briatore's a pretty nice guy. He has a smokin' hot wife too!

 

agreed I like Flavio........... I dunno who his wife is but this guy has had his pick of super models......and you gotta love the guy for taming Naiomi Cambel

 

He used to be married to Heidi Klum FYI.

 

Damn!

 

Not just 'used to be'. He knocked her up and denied the baby!

 

He partly lives on the country side in Kenya, he has a huge safari farm/house there.

 

Smart man!

 

I would love to visit Kenya, I haven't been to Africa yet I'm hoping my first trip will be for the 2010 World cup
