Goalposts have shifted on footballers' morality
During this eventful period Mr Eriksson was constantly in the public eye because of various affairs whilst dating at the time Nancy Dell'Olio. Girlfriends included the Swedish television presenter Ulrika Jonsson and his secretary at the FA, Faria Alam (who incidentally also had sexual relations with FA chief executive Mark Palios). Mr Eriksson was controversially pipped to the prestigious title of "Durex Man of the Year" by Park Chu-Young in 2006. Other famous footballers who enjoyed female company must include the late George Best, who even had an airport named after him.
Mr Terry's passing flame, Vanessa Perroncel, a lingerie model and former nightclub hostess, has declined to make any further comment. How very wise.
