In today’s world professional
footballers are some of the most well-known and famous people on the planet,
and that goes for some of their partners too.
Everyone knows the old guard
of Posh and Becks, while Irina Shayk has gained increasing fame due to
her previous relationship with one of the greatest players ever in Cristiano
Ronaldo.
The WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends) of England’s
Euro 2004 and World Cup 2006 campaigns
will live long in the memory for all the wrong reasons, but some of those
ladies are still enjoying themselves as high-profile better-halfs of some
fantastic footballers.
While Wayne Rooney is hard at
work on the football pitch trying to do his best for Manchester United and win
a sensational sixth Premier League crown to add to his honours, his wife Coleen
is a celebrity in her own right.
Mrs Rooney gained famed at
Euro 2004 and the 2006 World Cup as an infamous WAG but has since grown up, striking deals with Littlewoods to front
their brands while also doing some
television presenting work.
In her old days Rooney would
have had plenty of time to sit around, but with life so busy she’s leaving the
WAG title in the past.
Those with plenty of time on
their hands could use some of huge amount of cash their men earn to spend time
online either shopping or using casino sites like aud.SpinPalace.com pokies where there’s plenty to keep them occupied with a variety of games to
play on such as the classics roulette and blackjack along with the more modern
slot games based on films. They might even have a go on the fruit machines on
the site as they wait for their partner to arrive home.
Although Rooney may not earn
quite as much money as her husband, spare a thought for Morgan Schneiderlin’s
girlfriend. She still works in a sportswear shop in Manchester – it’s a far cry
from Rooney’s glamourous fashion and television lifestyle as a former WAG.
Camille Sold is the
girlfriend of the Manchester United star Schneiderlin and while he earns
£100,000 a week by competing for one of the biggest sports clubs in the world,
she is in Manchester city centre helping to make sure the Adidas shop runs
smoothly as a sales assistant.
Schneiderlin is a big signing
for Manchester United this summer and his girlfriend's attitude to working life
is something many will be glad to see after recent views on footballer's
partners.
