Man allows woman out of cage… for a bit

Footballers are adored by women. You’ve seen them, hanging around in clubs, sweeping up girls like they were big bosomy clumps of dust and they were the world’s most efficient vacuum cleaner. Hence, they can get away with all sorts of strange demands when they’re on holiday with their eager sexual partners.

Wayne Rooney famously insists on sitting motionless in swimming pools for entire weeks. Rio Ferdinand likes to do his drinking in the sea. But stranger and more outrageous than anyone The Spoiler’s witnessed this summer is Luka Modric - the gifted Croatian winging his way to Spurs this season.

A perfectly able-bodied young footballer, he demands that his bikini’d girlfriend, Vanja Bosnic, helps with his suncream application. What’s wrong with that? You probably just yelled at your computer, punching your desk as hard as you could. Well, he insists that she even covers his front bits, from chest to stomach - places he could easily reach using his own greasy hands.

Poolside behaviour has never been stranger or more demeaning.

Another shocking picture after the jump.
