The latest gossip to be whispered in our ears

Rumour: An Aston Villa first team player was seen doing cocaine at a private party last year.

The Spoiler’s truth-o-meter: A friend claims to have seen this act first-hand, although how he would have escaped the Premier League’s random testing without pulling a ‘Rio’ is questionable.

Rumour: A defender who has played for three London clubs, including Chelsea, is secretly gay. A friend of a friend went to school with said player, and kept in touch. They met up recently, and ended up doing the business.

The Spoiler’s truth-o-meter: It’s 100 per cent true, folks. However, he’s not very keen for the information to be passed around the changing rooms of his current Championship side.
