Football’s biggest playboys and womanisers
Many players can get into trouble and gain a reputation for being a playboy. Here, we look as some of the most notorious womanisers in football over the years.
Football players are adored around the world by millions of fans, so it’s not usually very difficult for a player to find an attractive women. When less than attractive footballers such as Frank Ribery and Ronaldinho are able to bed hundreds of women, then it’s safe to say any footballer playing at a high level will have no trouble bagging themselves a girlfriend.
However, with women throwing themselves at them, many players can get into trouble and gain a reputation for being a bit of a playboy. Here, we look as some of the most notorious womanisers in football over the years.
Cristiano Ronaldo
The Portuguese superstar will go down as one of the best players to ever play the game following a trophy-laden career that’s seen him score hundreds of goals. But Ronaldo has also had no problem scoring away from the pitch, as he’s bedded an impressive list of beautiful women. Models such as Alice Goodwin and Gemma Atkinson have enjoyed time with the Man Utd striker, while supermodel Irina Shayk was his girlfriend for over five years. The 37-year-old has also been linked with a whole host of other beauties before settling down with Georgina Rodriguez.
Dwight Yorke
Another well-known former Man Utd star who forged a reputation with the ladies is Dwight Yorke. The striker famously dated model Katie Price and had a son with her, shortly after a brief fling with another model, Gabrielle Richens. Yorke hit the headlines in 1998 after claiming he had slept with four women in 24 hours, and footage of the romp was later leaked to the press after it was recorded by team mate Mark Bosnich.
Ronaldo
The ‘original Ronaldo’ from Brazil is widely regarded as one of the best No.9’s the world has ever seen. Injuries probably prevented him from going down as the greatest ever. However, Ronaldo is also well known for his off-field relationships, including his use of sex workers. The former Barcelona star hired two prostitutes from a site but unfortunately for Ronaldo they turned out to be transvestites.
Ronaldinho
During the mid-2000’s, Ronaldinho was arguably the best footballer on the planet having starred for teams such as Barcelona, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan. And the Brazilian certainly used his fame to bag a host of beautiful women. A number of lap dancers and sex workers have come forward to claim they’ve bedded the attacker, with one saying they had sex an incredible eight times in one night.
Antonio Cassano
The Italian striker made his name as a top goal scorer during spells at Roma, Real Madrid, Sampdoria, AC Milan and Inter Milan in Serie A. However, Cassano clearly had no trouble hitting the target off the pitch either. The forward claimed in his autobiography that he’s slept with over 600 women, and his pre-match routine included having sex before eating pastries.
George Best
Best is still regarded as one of the best players ever following a sensational career at Man Utd in the 1960’s. However, Best also become well known for his love for the ladies, with the attacker rarely spotted without a beautiful women on his arm. The Northern Irishman enjoyed partying and drinking, which inevitably led to him meeting young women. Best is well known as one of football’s first proper playboy’s.
