Wayne Rooney’s romp with a prostitute at home while his pregnant wife was away is the latest in an indeterminably long line of marital indiscretions by high-profile football players. Cynics would point out: where’s the surprise in Rooney’s outing with Juicy Jeni, who charged him £1,200 for each time they were together?
Early this year, John Terry was sacked as captain of England after an angry Fabio Capello read about his extramarital affair with fellow international Wayne Bridge’s ex-girlfriend, an underwear model. In August, news broke that Peter Crouch cheated on his fiancee, TV presenter Abbey Clancy, with a prostitute named Monica Mint. When Mint found out who he was engaged to, she said, “I can’t believe he paid for sex with someone like me when he has a gorgeous woman like her at home.”
There are predecessors: David Beckham, Ashley Cole and Rio Ferdinand all took their eyes off the ball. Beckham and Ferdinand survived, while Cheryl Cole said goodbye to her husband after he cheated on her with seven women.
Further away from England, a transvestite went public with the fact that Ronaldo had invited him and two friends over—oblivious to the fact that they were men.
However, one of the funniest news of a football romp came after the Israeli soccer team ‘spent the night partying with prostitutes’ before a European Championship game against Denmark, according to Bleacher Report. Following the 5-0 drubbing, an Israeli minister said the result would have been the same had the Danish players been the ones partying.
Rooney, in any case, looks done for. This wasn’t the first time he engaged the services of a professional. Six years ago, Rooney visited a prostitute. Rooney, whose wife—at the time of writing this—does not intend to see him again, found solace in beer, according to The Sun.
