Yet again reports of an unfaithful footballer ha hit the headlines. Wayne Rooney has been reported to have paid for the services of a prostitute.

Footballers need to understand that they are public figures, little kids all over the country look up to them and are inspired by their work on the pitch. They should therefore be prepared to set a good example and understand that what happens on the pitch matters just as much as what they do off it.

When John Terry's affair with Wayne Bridge's girlfriend came out John Terry was demoted from captain of England yet was still allowed to fly out and represent his country in South Africa.

These unfaithful sportsmen have not been punished, they still get paid millions and they are still idolised by many. This needs to stop. If footballers can't behave they should loose their sponsorships, they should be prevented from representing their country as well as their teams.

If footballers can't behave they should be gone, no matter how good they are at their sport.
