The Premier League football world has yet again found itself shaken by a sex scandal. If you've been keeping an eye on the news, you have surely heard about an unnamed married Premier League football star, who was caught on video having a threesome with two women.

The raunchy video was circulated by fans on WhatsApp and reportedly the footballer is said to be a "household name." The star was allegedly seen thoroughly enjoying himself in the one-minute clip that also made its way to social media. The catch was that neither of the women seen in the video was his wife.

The world of football, however, has had a reputation of being entangled in sex scandals many times before. Let's take a look at the top 10 sex scandals that not only rocked the ball but the careers of the ones associated with it as well.

1.  Kyle Walker and his alleged bestiality kink 

 



 

In a video too graphic for anyone's eyes, an athletic brunette woman was reportedly seen laying on the bed, and a small black dog, who looked like a pug was licking her behind. The woman, who was sans underwear was heard laughing in the video as the dog lapped at her privates.

This 19-second clip found its way on social media and was shared by an Arsenal fan account. The person filming was allegedly footballer Kyle Walker, and the woman was believed to be his model girlfriend Annie Kilner. Unsurprisingly, the clip caused an outrage amongst fans, but Walker said that he was "disgusted by the suggestion that it's anything to do with" them. "With so many young people on social media I am horrified that content of that nature has been shared so many times," he said in a statement on Twitter.

In February 2010 Avram Grant, who was then the Portsmouth manager, found himself in a soup after he was seen leaving a Thai "massage parlor." The police confronted him about the visit, and he became a part of an active investigation into the brothel. They found that the sex workers charged up to £130 for their special services at the establishment where Grant was said to have been associated with.

Reports also surfaced that he was spotted at the same establishment - on December 18 the previous year. He reportedly spent close to an hour there too. It was quite the scandal for Grant, especially because he has two children who were 12 and 15 at the time. Grant, who was an ex-Chelsea FC manager admitted to the visit on the sly. When asked if he knew it was a brothel, he simply smiled and said, "Yes."

Back in 2004, former England striker Wayne Rooney had to make the most awkward public apology after reports surfaced that he reportedly had sex with a 48-year-old grandmother in a rubber catsuit and a mother-of-six dressed as a cowgirl.

The massage parlor that was located in Liverpool is said to have charged him £45 for each visit. Rooney was said to have visited the parlor about ten times, and at one unfortunate visit, word got out. Within minutes, 30 fans were gathered outside, chanting his name. He said in his apology, 'Foolish as it now seems, I did on occasions visit massage parlors and prostitutes. It was at a time when I was very young and immature and before I had settled down with Coleen. I now regret it deeply and hope people may understand it was the sort of mistake you make when you are young and stupid." Oops!

The AC Milan striker told the police that nothing happened between them and that he tried to send them away with some money. He said that he didn't know that they were men. The prostitutes, however, had a different story to tell - they were adamant that the football superstar had not paid them the agreed amount.
