The phrase ‘I wouldn’t trust you as far as I could throw you’ resonates when it comes to Footballers- as they have been deemed the least trustworthy public figures over bankers, politicians, j. Seems as though Footballers can only be trusted to kick a ball! Research conducted by IllicitEncounters.com concluded that 91% of the 2,000 women surveyed admitted the first characteristic that comes to mind when thinking of footballers is ‘cheater’, before talented’, ‘ambitious’, ‘athletic’, ‘fit’, or ‘motivated’.

“It’s not difficult to see why the stereotype that all footballers are cheaters is so strong in Britain with the likes of Ashley Cole, Wayne Rooney, Ryan Giggs, John Terry, Peter Crouch, Franck Ribery and Carlos Tevez casually engaging in affairs,” said Clare Page, spokesperson for Illicit Encounters, “Men often follow examples of their boss, father figure or leader and their managers aren’t doing a great job of that – when the likes Arsene Wenger and Sven Goran Eriksson get away with it, they may think they can do the same.

“Some of our clients are high-profile athletes who are looking for escapism from their high pressured lives on our website. They have huge stress from their fans, captains, media and agents to always play perfectly, support the correct charities, say the right thing to the press and represent their best self at all time – they’re bound to crack under the pressure of the limelight. IllicitEncounters offers the best possible remedy to this pressure: discretion and hot affairs!”
