Other than the affairs and love child? 
 

“The love life of David Ginola has been more dramatic than anything we've witnessed in this year's I'm A Celebrity. 

The former Tottenham Hotspur and Newcastle midfielder, who was already adored by legions of football fans, is one of the favourites to be crown King of the Castle after winning over viewers in the first week of the series.

 

But one person who probably hasn't been watching the suave Frenchman is his ex-wife, as their 25-year marriage ended in scandal and was dubbed the 'Eurostar divorce'.

Dashing blue-eyed David, 54, grew a reputation as a bit of a womaniser from a young age and developed a crush on one of his teachers as a schoolboy.

"She knew I was staring into her eyes and used to look back into mine, but it was always she who had to turn away first and look to the floor," he said in his memoir posted in Le Magnifique.

"She even called my parents to tell them that I made her feel a bit uncomfortable and asked them to have a word with me."

 

After dating a string of glamorous women during his illustrious football career, David found love with fashion model Coraline Delphin and they tied the knot in 1991.
 

The couple, who lived near Saint-Tropez, had a son, Andrea, and daughter, Carla, together and were seemingly very much in love.

With the family enjoying a social whirl of sparkling celebrity and sporting events, their super-rich lifestyle which included a fleet of luxury cars and a vintage wine cellar was a life most can only dream of.

 

However, David and Coraline's marriage was dogged by accusations of cheating and 'multiple affairs'.

 

In 2000, it was alleged that David had fathered a 'love child' during a six month affair with French businesswoman Joelle Pinquier nine years earlier.

Ms Pinquier, who met David while he was playing at French side PSG, accused the footballer of refusing to take DNA tests to prove that her daughter Joy was indeed his child.

"I broke off our relationship in December 1991, when I discovered he was married and that his wife was pregnant," she said at the time.

"But it was after that that I discovered I was pregnant too… I want him to act like a father, not as an actor or a star. She wants to carry his name, for him to recognise her."

 

In 2009, it emerged David could be facing jail over unpaid child maintenance payments and he was ordered to pay £30,000 in fees to Ms Pinquier.

Alleged love child Joy was reportedly turned away from the hospital when David underwent a six-hour quadruple heart bypass, following his shock heart attack in 2015.

The following year, Coraline filed for divorce, reportedly claiming his affairs had destroyed their marriage.

At the time, David's lawyer said: "David and his wife are, unfortunately, going through divorce and related financial proceedings in the UK.

"The proceedings were initiated by Mrs Ginola some time ago. Mr Ginola has tried to reach an amicable agreement with Mrs Ginola and will continue with those efforts.

"He hopes to reach an agreement as soon as possible for the good of their children and asks that their privacy be respected at this difficult time for all of them."

Around this time, David was spotted with French model Maeva Denat, who is 22 years his junior, but his son insisted the divorce was filed before the former footballer met his new girlfriend.

Coraline took David on in the British court system, which historically is more generous to women than in Europe, so it was dubbed the 'Eurostar Divorce'.“

A former boss of mine used to go on at me as I always looked unexcited. 
 

“what’s the mater with you?” etc etc etc. 

 

I had to tell him over and over, this is my fucking face, this is what I look like, I’m not an over excited 30 something like he was, I’m in my 50s.  Come back and show me your constant fucking happy face when you’ve had another twenty years of this shit. 
 

Leave Tonali alone ffs. 
 

Although he’s got awful teeth for a young millionaire. It might just be that.

Am I just having a bad day or is Ginola being super patronizing to Geordies here :lol: ?

Makes us look like muppets, but then again we're singing about Moretti and spaghetti so I can't really complain...

I’m pretty certain that Tonali or Isak will be our player of the season. Only think I see against him being a massive success would be if he somehow really struggles to adapt to living in England. Football wise he has tons of quality attributes so I just can’t see him not take the league with storm. It might take a little while but he will get there. It’s a bit unfortunate that we don’t have an easier start to the season. Would have been much easier to him more game time early on. Only a matter of time though.

His teeth are actually pretty decent, it's the huge gums which are ugly. That's why when he smiles casually he looks good, but when he goes ear to ear it gets weird.
