Wayne Rooney: The 20 Worst Athlete Sexcapades Of The Last Decade
English soccer star Wayne Rooney found himself as the latest of a long line of athletes to be embroiled in an infidelity scandal. The Manchester United striker was found to have had an affair with a British prostitute during the time that his wife, Colleen was pregnant with their first child.
But just how bad was Rooney? After all, he's not the first athlete to have these kinds of issues. We've compiled a list of the 20 worst sexcapades of the last decade. It could be nude pictures, it could be illicit sex, or it could be the idea of sex. But they're all on here for a reason. Let's start at the bottom.
20. Chuck Liddell's Fake Tape
1 of 20
The MMA world was shocked when a video appeared on the Internet of Liddell and girlfriend Heidi Northcutt working out nude together.
Of course, it was later revealed the whole thing was an ad campaign by Reebok, so he's at the bottom of the list.
19. Greg Oden and His Little Friend
2 of 20
Oden, a former No. 1 overall pick of the Portland Trailblazers, hasn't made much noise on the basketball court.
But, off it, he has certainly made plenty of noise, with his nude pictures leaking onto the Internet. Why anyone would want to see Greg Oden nude is beyond me, but he's on the list.
18. Chris Cooley Does a Greg Oden Impression
3 of 20
Cooley, much like Oden, had nude pictures surface on the Internet. The difference? Cooley put his up of his own volition. He said they were for a significant other, and he wasn't ashamed in the slightest. But, the general public was somewhat ashamed for him.

17. Laure Manaudou
4 of 20
Manaudou is a French swimmer who had incredibly high hopes for her 2008 Summer Olympics.
Then, shortly before the Games began, nude pictures of Manaudou surfaced on the Internet. Distraught, she struggled in Beijing, and was largely labeled a bust.
16. Michael Vick
5 of 20
When Vick was coming under fire for dogfighting, it was also revealed that the former Pro Bowler had frequently checked into seedy motels under the psuedonym Ron Mexico and an ex alleged in a lawsuit that she contracted genital herpes from Vick. Needless to say, #7 Mexico jerseys became an immediate big seller.
15. Stephon Marbury Has a Truck Party
6 of 20
Marbury took the stand in Isaiah Thomas' sexual harassment trial, and detailed how he had hooked up with Kathleen Decker in his truck across the street from a strip club.
This was par for the course during the Isaiah Thomas Era for the Knicks.
14. Denny Neagle and His New Friend
7 of 20
In 2004, Neagle was arrested for soliciting a prostitute. After an injury-prone season and a DUI arrest, he retired before the 2005 season.
It's too bad; I feel like all Denny needed was some nookie to get his mojo back. And maybe a new left arm.
13. Sven Goran Ericksson
8 of 20
The former English manager was at the heart of a major scandal when it was revealed he had been having an affair with a secretary in the FA offices.
The story was criticized by the FA, who claimed the woman changed her story. But Ericksson was known to favor women of her age, so most figured they were just trying to save face.
12. Jackie Gallagher-Smith Makes a Baby
9 of 20
Gallagher-Smith was an LPGA golfer. It was revealed in 2005 that she and caddy Gary Robinson had been practicing their putts late into the night, in the hopes of getting Smith pregnant. Unfortunately for the pair, their sessions were in violation of Smith's marriage vows, and they were eventually suspended.
11. Brett Favre Wants To Be Her Friend
10 of 20
Brett Favre reportedly sent pictures of himself to Jenn Sterger, the former Florida State superfan and one-time announcer covering the Jets, as an indication of how much he wanted to beat her in chinese checkers. Or, something like that. She seems like a great partner for Chinese Checkers, doesn't she?
10. Wayne Rooney
11 of 20
We've established Rooney's transgressions, but, just to reiterate: he cheated on his pregnant wife with a hooker. I think that's all that needs to be said here.
9. Brandon Spikes
12 of 20
Spikes, a highly-regarded linebacker prospect for the New England Patriots, saw it proper to put himself on Chatroulette, where the whole world could watch a young lady friend become acquainted with him. Yeah. I don't know what to say, exactly.
8. Tom Brady
13 of 20
Brady pulled a Rooney, leaving his pregnant girlfriend, model Bridget Moynahan, for fellow model Gisele Bundchen. People were mad at Tom, but madder that Gisele was taken.
The karma gods punished Brady by forcing him to wear that terrible haircut for the 2010 season.
7. Patrick Ewing Likes Strip Clubs
14 of 20
During the investigation of Atlanta's famed "Gold Club" gentlemen's club, numerous NBA players were called to the stand to testify. But, perhaps the most awkward was Ewing, who went into the most general detail imaginable about his sex acts with the dancers.
I'm not going to post the quotes here, but you can find them rather easily.
6. Dwight Yorke Is Watching
15 of 20
English soccer player Dwight Yorke has had numerous infamous escapades. But perhaps the most disturbing were his romps with teammate Mark Bosnich. The pair rigged Bosnich's apartment with cameras, and had multiple girls come over to play Chutes and Ladders.
In other words, Big Brother really was watching.
5. John Terry
16 of 20
Like Yorke, Terry's indiscretions are well documented. The married man has had several affairs.
But the most notable one came to light last year, when it was revealed that the Chelsea defender had stolen friend and fellow defender Wayne Bridge's girlfriend. While Terry was married.
It ultimately cost Terry his captaincy.
4. Eddy Curry
17 of 20
Curry briefly shocked the NBA world when allegations surfaced that Curry had propositioned his then driver for sexual favors. When a teammate came to his defense, it made things that much more uncomfortable for us all.
Because whether he's into men or women, no one wants to know anything about Eddy Curry's sex life.
3. Franck Ribery and The French Make Illegal Friends
18 of 20
Shortly before the 2010 World Cup, it was revealed that Ribery and several other French players had had sex with a prostitute.
No big deal, right? Except that the girl was underage. Yikes. Ribery has yet to face sanction, but if the charges go to trial, it could be trouble for him.
2. Minnesota Vikings
19 of 20
Two words: Boat Party. The team brought hookers from two states on board a pair of boats to help them celebrate their mediocre season a few years ago. What I want to know is: Why two different states? Not enough prostitutes in Florida for them.
1. Tiger Woods
20 of 20
Shocking. We all know what Tiger did at this point, and why he's at the top of the list. Nothing more needs to be said about him. At least until more mistresses come out of the woodwork.
