If you've never been to England, specifically London, it's worth it just for the newspapers and tabloids alone. Imagine if every NFL player's personal life was followed as closely as Tom Brady's and you can somewhat start to appreciate the microscope that English Premier League players live under. Homegrown EPL players even more so.
Therefore, it should come as no surprise that the latest scandal in the UK is that Chelsea and England captain John Terry (who's married and has twins) had an affair with English teammate Wayne Bridge's former girlfriend. Throw in the juicy detail that said former flame is a French underwear model and boom: you've got a story that everyone is talking about.
Since I spent a semester in London during the winter/spring of 2005, Terry has always been one of my favorites. I even have an England jersey with his name on the back.
As a nice footnote, Terry didn't seem affected by the whole thing since he scored the game-winning goal on a sweet header off a corner kick in Chelsea's 2-1 win over Burnley yesterday.
PS. John what the hell are you wearing? Must have been a present from the wife. Also a great picture because while his wife stares at him (and not the camera), some banshee in the background gives her best smile.
Like the gossip! This is Melisa in case you wanted to know.
