Sports stars in a sweat as ‘secret physio’ lifts the lid on a string of affairs with top athletes in a steamy new memoir

Sporting stars are said to be sweating over a physiotherapist’s steamy memoir in which she is set to reveal a string of affairs.

The woman, writing anonymously, claims she had relations with two male international football players and affairs with two of the world’s best tennis players, an England cricket star and rugby players.

Titled The Sports Physio, the book is set to spark a guessing game about the identities of the woman and the sports stars involved when it is published on Saturday.

In an interview with the Mail, the writer revealed that several of the sportsmen she has had trysts with are so worried about the book that they have been in touch, begging her not to reveal their names.

‘Six sports stars have contacted me this week – all eager for me not to reveal their identities,’ the woman said. ‘I told them I would never do that and their identities will go to the grave with me.’

The book tantalisingly says on its cover that it is a ‘sexy, thrilling, pure fantasy’ written ‘by the anonymous woman in white’. It will detail her claims about misbehaviour behind the scenes at training camps and major sports events.

‘I worked in sport for 30 years with many players and the truth is that I had sexual encounters with several of the stars of world sport,’ she said.

‘Some of the biggest names you can imagine. It’s insane how sexual the world of sport is.’ The woman will also reveal how she had an affair with a Hollywood A-lister after meeting him at a boxing match.

The author, who has self-published the memoir, explained: ‘I wanted to write the book for myself, then I realised that people might enjoy reading it and, as I wrote it, I thought, “This is all quite sexy stuff – women will love it.”

‘Sportsmen are big, strong and manly and the idea of them lusting after you, then seducing you, is very appealing. I have spared no details. It’s quite an erotic read. I certainly had a wonderful time.’

In one chapter, titled ‘Getting to grips with the national game’, the woman describes the moment a well-known footballer seduced her at his team’s training ground while she was treating him.

She writes: ‘He stripped down to a tiny towel and lay on my massage bed. I began to work at his muscles, kneading them gently and commenting on any knots or muscular issues I spotted along the way.

‘”You’re very good at this, aren’t you?” he said, as I pointed out where I thought he’d had previous injuries. “I’ve got a lot of experience,” I said. “I bet you have,” he replied.

‘It was all banter at this stage. He was just a footballer confronted by a woman and was unable to do anything but flirt. I didn’t think for a minute that he fancied me.

‘Then, the tone of the conversation became fruitier.

‘”Do you wear lingerie beneath that uniform?”, “You are very beautiful”, “I’d love to see you naked”. The compliments came thick and fast…’
