English rugby player Ben Cohen, popular among Outsports readers for embracing his gay fan base, is out with a 2011 calendar. See below for some photos and how you can win a signed copy of the calendar.

A photo shoot for the calendar had to be delayed two days when Cohen received a black eye while in training with a teammate.

“In some of the shots I do look like I’ve been roughed-up a bit” says Cohen. “I hope there’s no disappointment from fans who buy the calendar, a few bumps and bruises go with the territory I’m afraid.”

The calendar costs 15 British pounds (about $23) and features 12 monthly spreads, three poster pages and an “out-takes” section. It can be ordered at his website www.ben-cohen.com.

One Outsports reader will win a copy of the calendar signed by Cohen. The rules are simple: In 15 words or less, tell us why you're a fan of Ben. Send entries to "[email protected]" and put "Ben Cohen Calendar Contest" in the subject field. The deadline is Nov. 15.
