The football gossip site CaughtOffside.com has indicated that this player is Gerrard, and it has also been said that the information came from the same person that broke the John Terry affair with Vanessa Perroncel.

Terry tried to get a “super injunction” preventing anyone from reporting the rumours about his affair, and it has been alleged that this “major Liverpool player” is at this moment trying to impose the same gagging order on anyone repeating these allegations.

The rumours go on to say that Gerrard’s wife Alex has been having an affair with the Derby and Scotland striker Kris Commons, and that Gerrard is already planning to move to a foreign club in the summer to escape from all the media storm that would accompany the revelations, if they proved to be true.

I must stress that I have absolutely no way of knowing whether the rumours are true, I am simply reporting what has been written on other websites, and I hope for Steven Gerrard and England’s sake that they are totally without foundation, because they could throw England’s World Cup preparations into disarray.

The Irish are top of Binge-Drinking League!

***What was he doing with mice and Vaseline!***

Her uncle, Bernard Perroncel, tried to explain her way of thinking last night.

‘Obviously from an early age Vanessa realised the power of money and the effect it can have on people’s lives,’ he said.

‘She saw what money problems had done to her parents’ marriage and her father, and she never wanted it to happen to her.

‘After her father’s funeral Vanessa made the decision to leave France and move to England because she wanted a better life.

‘Certainly, she was very pretty and very charming, like her mother, and she decided to use those attributes to her advantage.’

Lee Latchford Evans also gave an insight into her personality last night.

He said: ‘Vanessa is the type who likes to be looked after, to be treated well. You have to have money to be able to do that.

‘That’s what she always wanted. That’s what she is about.

‘She was always going to move on to bigger fish. I gave her a taste of celebrity and she wanted more.

‘Footballers earn so much money. She knew how to climb the ranks.”

‘She was always going to be with someone who could look after her and who was very good at what they do. She found that with me, and she’s found that with other people.’

It seems that the first Chelsea player she got involved with was Eidur GudJohnsen before meeting Wayne Bridge, who became the father of her baby.

When she split up with Wayne it is alleged that John Terry used to pop around the corner to give her a shoulder (!) to cry on.

There was also Adrian Mutu, and a fifth player that can’t be named yet due to an injunction. The Mail also says they have information about yet another two Chelsea players that got involved.
