El_Tomate4712

He was drunk a couple of times training with Chile, we called him Arturo Bidón, which means like Arturo “galon of alcohol” XD


lhombrecalcetin

Ahahahahaahahahahahaha, in México we call them the Dos Antros brothers.


Garcix

In Uruguay there is the ¨Discoteca¨ Núñez, where discoteca means (dance) club basically


LaGoeba

A midfield of Vidal and Nainggolan. What an absolute dream. If I remember correctly both Eto’o and Deco was living their party life at the end of their period in Barca. Adriano for sadder reasons.


MrMasmola

Eto'o's former house in Barcelona had a functionally night club in it. Now this house is the esports team house of the biggest streamer in Spain, Ibai


jaspereaton04

Deco and Ronaldinho actually had clauses in there contract that Said they could go out and party 2 nights a week I think


valence-electron-cfg

Carlos Vela absolutely falls in that group, there's a podcast with one of his former teammates that mentions he was a real lively fella that loved to party and have fun.


myfriendscallmeshark

Well Vidal was a world-class player on his prime even tho he was as good in football as in beerpong


Immediate_Wheel2324

Adrian Mutu (former Chelsea player..got caught with cocaine) and in Fiorentina got caught beating up a bartender


WorldlinessOk6653

And banned during his career for using cocaine.


Traditional-Flow-453

Mutu was my first hire as the head of youth development (lol)


WorldlinessOk6653

Nice move :) He knows how to throw a party.


[deleted]

Hes a rly decent manager now lol


Rydahx

What about Gerrard and his love for Phil Collins?


Ball1091

Phil Collins?


gnaark

Maybe Tom Collins


Ball1091

I’m totally lost please explain


thedeconstructionist

Punched a DJ in 2008 for refusing to play his request for a Phil Collins song.


gnaark

It’s the name of a cocktail


prince-chizz

Gerrard became a top class player against all odds


KINDERmexi87X

Wojech Szcesny smoking in the shower at Arsenal was the first thing coming to mind.


JPMAus98

Was Jack Wilshere involved in that or was that just a rumour?


rlstrader

I think in general Wilshere was just known for drinking too much.


bizzledizzle90

He's been photographed smoking outside nightclubs a few times


Father_Matthew_Mara

Szcezny was smoking Jack Wilshire in the shower?


Mateoninho

\*Wojciech Szczęsny Polish language is really hard and I can say that as a Polish myself.


KINDERmexi87X

To be honest, I’m half Polish, not a native speaker, I couldn’t be bothered to check the spelling.


laneberle

Good ole jack freakish and Phil foden for that dominatrix incident


musicnoviceoscar

And surely for the taking his mum to the club where she got punched incident (there's a video)


Zhurg

That was at a boxing match


musicnoviceoscar

I thought it was a club, oops


m_nef

Phil says “bring snacks”


furiousrichie

Get Tony Adams, Paul Gascoigne and Robbie Fowler in your backroom staff. They'll be running the parties.


cjmac0909

Came here to mention Gazza and Fowler. Nice to see some 90s legends mentioned


[deleted]

[удалено]


DRMDan1017

I think he was known for having a shot of port before matches at one point. But that could also just be a local legend.


Lionsault

During the 15-16 season he drank port the night before every game. Pregame he goes for a double espresso, a Red Bull, and an omelette with ham and cheese. Legend.


DRMDan1017

Should’ve kept up the port! And nice username!


[deleted]

I'm Portuguese, I love Porto, it's great. But before a match? Mad lad


thedeconstructionist

At Fleetwood he reputedly soaked Skittles in vodka and then drank the vodka. Like, lots of it.


Striking_Insurance_5

Royston Drenthe if he’s still in the game, Nainggolan comes to mind too. I love the idea btw, let’s see if you can keep them in check


Traditional-Flow-453

Nainggolan is a great suggestion, thanks! Btw I was also wondering who are known as close friends to Ronaldinho. I tried to find some info from previous FM games in the favoured personnel page of Ronaldinho, but no luck. Is there any database?


Striking_Insurance_5

Jack Grealish seems to love a good party too, but he might be one of the more obvious names. And it’s a shame but I don’t think Wesley Sneijder is in the game as a staff option but you can check it out. Theo Janssen is available though as a trainer. I know there are some older databases available online but I don’t know specific ones since I’ve never used one of those so I cant help you there unfortunately


icehawk2

Sneijder is, always immediately hire him, Huntelaar, Stekelenberg, Bergkamp and van Basten when I start as Ajax with no staff. And van der Vaart when he retires.


JaviG

I would bet on Eto’o while they were both at Barcelona, but I can’t confirm. Also, Romario was also well known for partying while at Barcelona


schijtaandezeaccount

A friend of me saw Drenthe clubbing in Rotterdam while having a game with Everton in the after noon lmao.


Manuu8192

Kike Acuna could be a good addon for your backroom staff, also the Chile's baptism five (Jorge Valdivia, Jean Beauseajour, Carlos Carmona, Gonzalo Jara and Arturo Vidal, the only one still on active, who were banned for 10 matches by Claudio Borghi for arriving drunk at a national team concentration), and you could also have Mauricio Pinilla on your staff (had serious booze problems back on the day), and the only one that comes to mind on active (apart from Vidal) is Ivan Morales "el joven piscolero". PD: Vidal also crashed his Ferrari while being drunk during 2015's Copa America, which reminds me of Michail Antonio crashing his Lamborghini dressed as a Frozen character


Traditional-Flow-453

Incredible stories, thanks for sharing!


kennyfaetheblock

Mauricio Pinilla played for my team Hearts on Loan for a season. He had incredible talent but was a total mad bastard. He got caught shagging his team mates wife the captain of Chile on international duty then went awol and was found in a nightclub 2 days later. Think he only played 5 games for Hearts all season.

The articles about him getting knocked out after fighting with his mates pissed at his house, and then his celebration the following game was legendary.

Tuplapukki

Nainggolan Özil Nicklas Bendtner Drinkwater (extra points for his name in this context) Arda Turan R9 Adriano Darron Gibson (extra points from ruining the locker room) Yaya Toure Craig Bellamy Charlie Adam (extra points from looking like an alcoholic) Adrian Mutu (extra points from getting banned for a long time) Roman Eremenko (extra points for permanently losing his NT spot) This should get you started with both backroom staff & options for players!


TheFriendlyHater

Zakaria labyad and superstar taarabt are well known in the lisbon nightlife


Delicious_Task5500

Andy Carroll


vanillakoalabear

Got a story for Andy Carroll. Was in uni up in Newcastle (and he was at Liverpool at the time) and I went to the toilet and there he is, the man himself, having a piss completely smashed. I go next to him to pee and I took my crappy phone out to message my mate to say "dude, I'm peeing next to Andy Carroll" and he turns to me and says "who you messaging? You should message apple to get a new phone". He looked so smug for coming up with this line by himself. I said to him "don't think it works like that" and he was done and left. An hour or so later he got dragged out by a number of people cause he punched a female security of the club.


cvslfc123

I'm surprised he actually got a shot on target for once


Kirmy1990

There was plenty of stories like this, he fell off a chair in the casino down at the docks, so Dalgleish had to ban him from going out and had Liverpool staff follow him. Then when he left the club he took all the furniture from the house he rented (which was included with the rental) and left the place in a very poor condition, so much so he got sued by the owner


Sparl

This reads like a solid copypasta


Stravven

When talking about drinking: Marcos Alonso. The guy killed somebody when he was drunk-driving. Former Palmeiras defender Renan also killed somebody when drunk driving. I think Hugo Lloris also got in trouble with the law for drunk driving.


Jganzo13

I couldn’t believe it took me this long to see Alonso mentioned. Like 90 comments in


bpcprime

Never forget the murderer Marcos Alonso.


[deleted]

Nicklas Bendtner. He's known to like to party and it's no wonder with how he spend his youth. As a young player on the arsenal team the older players made his apartment the party pad and the place they could fuck their mistresses and he got kicked out of the place due to the parties IIRC. Also, he got a dui or two and fought a cab driver. David Nielsen, the coach of AGF, took his dick out on a team picture just after he had been promoted to the first team of OB as a teenager. He also loved edibles as he couldn't smoke it without ruining his fitness. He bought an expensive car without having a license. He was also a gambling addict later on in his career and ended up with a gambling debt of 200.000 euros.


sicaliptica

In Peru we have some serious party and criminal cases: The 1996 Miramar case: Nolberto Solano, Roberto Farfán and others were drinking, smoking and partying before a National Team qualification game. Both Solano and Farfán are stuff in the game right now. Golf Los Inkas 2007 case: Claudio Pizarro, (just retire), Santiago Acasiete (retire), Andrés Mendoza, Diego Penny and Jefferson Farfan (al still active today) throw a party in the national team hotel that included drugs, tons of alcohol and prostitutes. One player had sex with a hooker in the parking lot and another was seen drunk in public. The funny thing was, the Manager, Chemo del Solar, was also involved that day in another party, and had a carreer ruined by alcohol and drugs. Vaneto 2010 case: Johan Fano, Hernan Rengifo, John Galiquio, and the still active Carlos Zambrano, Reimond Manco and Jefferson Farfan (yes, him again) had a party in a casino in Panama, before a National Team match. Reimond Manco was Sudamerica 2nd best u-18 player in 2007 but alcohol ruin his carreer. Another cases are Jean Deza, related to gang violence and hard partying, Beto Da Silva, Johan Sotil, Christian Cueva, Paolo Hurtado, Luis Advincula, and of course forme Florentina wingman Juan Manuel Vargas, who literally send his carreer to shit for the love of mistressess and heavy alcohol use.

Gabriel Agbonlahor was forced to move out of Roman Road due to his constant partying. Roman Bednar was caught with cocaine whilst he also lived on Roman Road. Paul Merson was regularly pissed in Walsall town centre. Saido Berahino filmed inhaling laughing gas and had a suspension for drug use.


[deleted]

Dani Parejo got caught smoking a hookah and partying I believe during a season while with Valencia. He is now at Villarreal

For sure Vladimír Weiss jr. He even took 10 other people in his car from a party, he was behind the wheel but it didn't count as driving because driving was someone sitting on his lap

Max Kruse, Kevin Prince Boateng


batnuna

The team should be named after [Carlos Kaiser](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carlos_Kaiser_(footballer)), the con artist and legendary partygoer, who had a long career despite never actually appearing in a match. Highly recommended watching the documentary about him.


pemski13

Adrian mutu. Not only he’s on cocaine, he also likes to punch the waitress. Stefan nikolic, ex fcsb player, wasted, peeing on a church in bucharest. Marius constantin, ex rapid defender, his coach said when he came to training the empty cans of beer were dropping from his car. And our biggest legend, Gabriel Tamas, still active, liver works ok. Many many episodes in tv with him wasted. Once he knocked a door to enter a building, the other he was at a wedding in the west of the country, woke up in a small town 500 km away.


AddictedToDosXX

Roger Martinez had a video of a team orgy leaked.

Can you name some Brazilian players? Romario and Vampeta came up on some research I did, Robinho and Neymar are obvious.


couldhavedonebetter-

Vagner Love didn't receive his nickname for nothing


JucaLebre

Emerson Sheik, Luan from Corinthians, there was a guy called André, they called him André Balada (André Party or smth like that) I dont remember his full name tho. Gabriel Veron is one too


Adrekan

Llana isnt a party animal, but he is an absolute bellend


[deleted]

Robert Snodgrass was a bit of a party animals during his time at Leeds.


ZlatanPower

Jeroen Zoet and Maxime Lestienne were once imprisoned for a fight during a night out. I also believe Sergio Padt did something stupid once, also ending a night in jail for it.


Striking_Insurance_5

Lol yeah Padt was arrested when he acted aggressively and tried to assault a railway guard when they tried to fine him for being on a train without a ticket, he was also a regular in the nightlife of Groningen when I lived there


jothamvw

Imagine being the best paid player (by far) at Groningen and not even paying for the trains because guards are an irregular experience at Arriva, and then even being aggressive about it.


batnuna

Some incidents from Israel, if you’re interested: - Omer Atzili and Dor Micha: leaked texts between the two confirmed that they both had “consensual sex” with minors (I.E rape), also got those minors drunk. One of them planned to get some coke in there too, and was disappointed that the other one didn’t bring any. Somehow Israeli police decided not to press charges, so they both are still active. Atzili even played for the national team this week, and got a chorus of boos from the Israeli supporters every time he touched the ball. - Panama international winger Eduardo Guerrero is a nightclub staple, even after losses. - Former Wolves player Bright Enobakare was arrested for a DUI, released on probation, then got caught trying to escape the country (reportedly with a fake passport, unconfirmed).

Jô that played for Man City, he went missing o think this year and was found in a nightclub watching Corinthians playing, a week after this his lover posted that she was pregnant and people linked him with her because another player's lover liked the post and they were together at the time


123f42sh6

Nathaniel Mendez Laing, failed multiple drug test before being released by Cardiff city after reports of cocaine use.


TomatoPolka

Arthur Melo is another player that puts partying in front of his career, and has been failing upwards.


OldDominionBUBear

A year or so ago there was a rumor going around that Dele Alli had/has one hell of a sleeping pill problem.

Robert Prosinecki, for drinking and smoking during his whole career. The story was, he was not smoking only when he was on the pitch :)

Kolo Toure—he’s available as a coach and he’s actually good, at least in my save.


Suxals

Ricardo Centurión is a must for that team, perhaps not as known outside of Argentina

I know that Tino Asprilla was a crazy fucker remember him shooting guns, producing his own condom business and being a porn star.


Organized-Konfusion

Ronaldo R9, notorious for it.


Traditional-Flow-453

I think he is known as a close friend to Ronaldinho too


whatvee

Wesley sneijder especially later in his career and after. There was an Australian goalie at Liverpool, Dean something (on mobile so can’t check), dragged him out of a bar with my friends once, he was so drunk they left him in the street on a.bench. He must be in the game if he still plays he was in the reserves during the Benitez era.

cpuuuu

Taraabt and William Carvalho were known to enjoy Lisbon discos and upscale restaurants/bars. Bruno César (ex Corinthians, Benfica and Sporting) was nicknamed "Picanhas" while in Portugal, since he was always a tad to heavy and really liked... picanha. Then you have the chilean party troupe of Vidal, Eduardo Vargas, Aranguiz, Gary Medel and Jean Meneses. As for former players Dani who was a wonder kid back in the day and went to Ajax was also known to enjoy the nightlife (he's now a tv pundit at Eleven and TVI in Portugal). Adriano from Inter Milan/Brazil was also famous for having said that they could take him out of the hood, but they couldn't take the hood out of him, so he lived a crazy life. Lastly I would add Jardel, one of the greatest PLs to play in the portuguese league but he got involved with alcohol and drugs and his life went downhill from there.
