Of his experiences with Collymore, our source refuted his suggestions that he had only been dogging for a couple of years. Stan wasnt a famous footballer when I first met him dogging, he said. Ive seen him lots of times. Hes one of the main fixtures and fittings on the scene and is always cadging cigarettes. He does the lot, including group sex, sex with one person, watching and touching. Just before Christmas he was in my car with three blokes and three women. Hes not gay, but anything to do with women hes game for. They have to be good looking for Stan, though. The source said that dogging could quickly become an addiction in the quest for greater thrills. There are certain codes to observe, he said. If a car window opens, it means you can watch. If the door opens, you can play. Stan drives his black 4x4 Range Rover to sites and wears a brown leather jacket with his hood up. Ive seen him dive under a car to hide when police drive past. When caught dogging at the Ansons Bank car park on Cannock Chase, Collymore revealed he had visited similar locations for sex for two years. He said he only went to the car park out of curiosity after reading about dogging on the internet. And he claimed that he was researching a TV documentary he was thinking of making. Following the revelations, Collymore checked into Londons Priory Clinic with depression. The father-of-two confessed: What I have done is disgusting and Im so ashamed, but Im only human. I can only beg for forgiveness. He said that his wife, civil servant Estelle, 26, had threatened to leave him. Collymore was axed as a soccer pundit by the BBC after the revelations. The Corporation said in a statement: Stan Collymore has been used occasionally on a freelance basis by Radio Five Live as a contributor. He does not have a contract with the BBC and we have no plans to use him in the near future. No-one answered the door when the Sunday Mercury tried to contact Colly-more at his £600,000 Cannock home yesterday. His Range Rover, with its personal number plate, was parked outside the property but there was no sign of either him or his wife. Collymore played for 12 clubs, including Liverpool, in a rollercoaster career which saw him earn three England caps. He was involved in transfers totalling around £20 million and once earned up to £20,000 a week. But he made as many headlines for his behaviour off the pitch - including beating up TV star and ex-girlfriend Ulrika Jonsson in a French bar in 1998. |
