6. Mesut Özil
He cheated on his girlfriend at the time (Mandy Capristo) with Bayern Munich player Christian Lell’s girlfriend Melanie Rickinger. Complicated, we know. But such are footballers.
5. Mario Balotelli
We could write a book about Mario. And so could his ex girlfriends we think. Super Mario was pure gold for a couple of years. He and Raffaele Fico were together for some time but he allegedly cheated on her on several different occasions. Painful.
4. Oliver Kahn
He might be a goalkeeping legend, he truly might be. But he is also a bit of a bad person. In 2003 he left his pregnant wife to be with reality star Verena Kerth. That is just wrong Olli. Very wrong indeed.
3. Franz Beckenbauer
Der Kaiser’ might have been a graceful person on the pitch, off the pitch he was anything but that. He had a child outside of his marriage, got divorced. He had got married again and then had an affair with a mistress. We are not exactly sure what Der Kaiser is doing these days. He can’t be up to too much good.
2. Garrincha
Affairs, a whole lot of affairs. Those affairs let to ‘doing’ the business which in turn led to the Brazilian legend having more than 14 children. Most of them he doesn’t even know. Such was the case with Ulf Lindberg, who you see right here. He found out at a later age that he was a product of an affair his father had with his Swedish mother. Remarkable stuff.
1. Andy van der Meyde
One of the nastiest cheaters of all time: Andy sure had his ways. In his biography, that came out in 2012, we learned that he had cheated on several wifes and girlfriends. This guy is a bit of a walking scandal as he was also addicted to drugs and alcohol. Good times With Andy.
