Soccer’s Sex Rats — Their Shocking Affairs!

Highly-paid English soccer bad boys have used the courts to hide their sordid secrets – just like Elton John, Kate Winslet and "Downton Abbey" star Hugh Bonneville! But in an exclusive report, The National ENQUIRER names — and shames — the sex rats! One of America’s top players, Robbie Keane, is among them!

The LA Galaxy striker and captain – formerly with Liverpool and Tottenham - begged for an injunction to cover up his cheating on model Claudine Palmer six weeks before their 2008 wedding and two months after. Keane, 35 – pals with David Beckham and Tonight Show host James Corden – was named best MLS player in 2015.

Married English soccer boss Alan Pardew got a court order to stop his lover’s furious husband, Karl Owens, from spilling the beans about the affair in 2006. Pardew claimed public exposure would damage his wife Tina’s fragile mental state. In April, Pardew, 54, who manages FA Cup finalists Crystal Palace, threatened another injunction after he was caught betraying his wife again. While not naming him, the Sun newspaper reported the cheater begged his secret lover to pose naked whenever his team won!

The High Court granted England soccer star Gareth Barry a gag order in 2011 to conceal his affair with a 23-year-old model.  Barry, 35, whined his adultery would have a “devastating effect” on his wife and children – and would subject him to “booing and cruel chants” from fans during matches!

Joe Hart, England’s goalkeeper, ran to court last year when his ex-lover — busty model and TV personality Katie Price — wanted to “tell all” about him cheating on his now-wife, Kimberly. Katie, 38, even sent a teasing Tweet as the Harts wed last June: “All Harts go out to the married couple, is he going to tell the truth about us xx” The judge sided with Hart, 29, and ordered the affair kept secret.
