Manchester City star Mario Balotelli has surrendered a cover shoot to Tottenham midfielder Scott Parker.
The Sunday Mirror says Balotelli was asked to do a fashion shoot for monthly magazine FHM after capturing the imagination of the British public with his crazy antics on and off the pitch.
Balotelli had a change of heart after initially turning down the offer, but City's busy schedule in both the Premier League and Europa League meant he was unable to finalise a date to become a model for the day.
After missing out on bad-boy Balotelli, FHM turned to Spurs' fresh-faced midfielder Parker.
