John Terry's 'mistress had flings with 5 Chelsea stars'

Published>Wed, Feb 03 10 04:55 PM

London, February 3 (ANI): Vanessa Perroncel, the woman alleged to be the mistress of married football star John Terry, has had flings with other Chelsea stars in the past, according to reports.

The French lingerie model, who previously dated Wayne Bridge, was said to have romanced five men in the club including England Captain Terry.

"To say she's a Chelsea Girl is a bit of an understatement. Wayne knows that he was one of several Chelsea players who were close to Vanessa," the Sun quoted a source close to the model as saying.

"Vanessa has always had a thing for footballers and set her heart on becoming a kind of super-WAG.

"During each affair she was always a single girl. But by the time she got to John Terry she'd achieved her own five-a-side football team," the source added. (ANI)

"JT insists it was a silly fling and didn't mean anything. She's chosen to believe his version rather than what everyone else is telling her.

"Frankly, she's been through all this before but not as bad as this. But the sting in the tail is that if he steps out line again she will throw him out and make sure he has as little contact with his kids as possible.

"That's the thing that will force him to focus. He loves his kids more than anything. Toni has also told him that she doesn't want him speaking publicly about it and if there is any apologising to e done, it will be to her." (ANI)

Mukesh, Harmeet in lead on day one

Published>Wed, Feb 03 10 04:09 PM

Kolkata, Feb. 3 -- Veterans Mukesh Kumar and Harmeet Kahlon returned cards of five-under 65 to take the lead in the first round of the Players Championship at the Tollygunge Club in Kolkata on Tuesday. The players carded six birdies and a bogey each on a day of 18 sub-par totals although Kahlon would consider himself unlucky for not emerging the sole leader because of a blemish on the par-four ninth. A pack of six was following the leaders at three-under. Manav Jaini was one of them and he had a special day, hitting a hole-in-one on the par-three sixth. He got off to the worst possible start with a double bogey on the par-four first but recovered with that eagle and four birdies, although there was a bogey on the 11th. Kahlon, who started from the 10th hole, and Mukesh, who teed off from the first, were off to similar starts with birdies at the beginning. Both were three-under after the first nine holes. After three more birdies and a bogey each in the last nine, they said the short game was going be the key on this course. "My hitting was average, but I chipped and putted really well," said Kahlon. He made a 30-foot putt for birdie on the 16th and sunk one in from 36 feet for another on the second. "On this course, you have to hit your approach shot close to the pin and take advantage of the par-fives." Kahlon did exactly that, hitting birdies on all three par-five holes. Mukesh too felt the secret to success was the short game. "My putting was good and that I had two birdies on the first six came as a bonus." But he rued being too aggressive on the par-four 14th, which he bogeyed. "My tee shot wasn't good and instead of playing safe I attacked the pin. The shot crossed the hole and went past the green."

From two-over after the first, he was two-under after the seventh with birdies immediately before and after the eagle. "It was a perfect four-iron shot which bounced just short of the green and kicked towards the hole. I just saw it land before the ball disappeared from my sight. My caddy started jumping in joy although I couldn't believe it for a few seconds," said Jaini.

Aussie cricketers advised to observe stringent security measures during IPL

Published>Wed, Feb 03 10 03:55 PM

Sydney, Feb. 3 (ANI): Following a threat by extreme right wing political party Shiv Sena to prevent the Australians from playing in Mumbai, Aussie cricketers will be asked to follow stringent security measures during this year's Indian Premier League, such as not venturing out of their hotels alone or wearing national uniforms and other clothing identifying their nationality.

The Sydney Morning Herald quoted the boss of security for the IPL, Bob Nicholls, as saying that if the Shiv Sena threat develops then specific plans for Australian players would be used.

"At the moment there doesn't seem to be any acts of violence happening against Australians in India. The times that we would be most concerned about is when they are out and about on their own, we will be giving them a list of dos and don'ts," he said.

"It is pretty straightforward, the greater risk is if people are going out on their own rather than in a team environment, and not to go out advertising that they are Aussies, wearing Aussie shirts. The same advice has been given to the Australian hockey team [for the World Cup]," he added.

Security experts have warned of a possible terrorist attack during the IPL and the level of threat has been described as similar to that around the time of the Mumbai terror attacks in 2008.

Twenty-one Australian players listed to play in next month's IPL include Shane Watson, Cameron White, David Hussey, David Warner, Shaun Marsh, Ryan Harris, Dirk Nannes and Shaun Tait - who will all play in tomorrow night's Twenty20 match against Pakistan.

Nicholls's company Nicholls Steyn and Associates is in charge of player security for the tournament - they have previously arranged security for cricket's World Cups and Champions Trophy - and will station a "representative" with each franchise. (ANI)
