Bridge Wayne is not the most famous former English footballer. His name did not sound in all the media, like the names of other British sports celebrities, but nevertheless, he managed to become famous for something during his career. But what exactly should be told.
Carier start
The Englishman was born in 1980, on August 5, and played football from an early age. And he learned the basics in a team called Olivers Battery. Then, at an older age, when he was 16, he began to play in the youth composition of FC Southampton (from 1996 to 1998). For the adult team, Bridge Wayne played six years, and then he was invited to Chelsea. Then they paid him £ 7 million. It is interesting that in the first season he spent at one of the most prestigious London clubs, he was included in the symbolic submarine team.
Further activities
Bridge Wayne was not in a good relationship with Jose Mourinho, who at that time was the head coach of Chelsea. He was even leased to Fulham. Only closer to 2007, he was able to practically consolidate the position of the main left full back. And Ashley Cole sat on the bench. But it was fair, because it was he who occupied the place of the Bridge for some time. Wayne seemed stronger and more resilient, and he also boasted variety in his attacks.
However, in 2009, in the winter, it was bought by Manchester City. At first, he constantly played in the main team, until one intrigue happened, which will be discussed later. Also, new players joined the team, which Bridge clearly lost in preparation. So in “ManCity” the Englishman did not stop for a long time and on lease rights transferred to FC “West Ham United”. But only until the end of the 2010/2011 season. Then they refused to rent it again. But then his native “Sunderland” went for it. There, Bridge Wayne lasted a year, after which he went to Brighton and Hove Albion, where he stayed for a season - played 37 matches and even scored three goals. The last player’s team was FC Reading. And in 2014, the Englishman decided to end his career.
Interesting Facts
And now about the intrigue, because of which Wayne Bridge often ceased to appear at the base of ManCity at one time. The wife, whose photo is presented below, is a British singer named Frankie Sandford. She is 27 years old, and since 2014 she is married to a football player. Before that, they met for a long time. And the couple has two sons. But! Before Frank, Wayne had a girlfriend named Vanessa Perronsel - a French model. And the relationship was serious. However, in 2010, the unpleasant happened: John Terry, by the way, a married man and the father of two sons, was convicted of an intimate relationship with Vanessa! He not only cheated on his wife, but also chose the girlfriend of his friend for this.
Naturally, Wayne broke all ties with Terry and even left the team, saying that he was not going to play for England while the team was a traitor. Of course, John Terry was not expelled from the team, as he was the leader. And he managed to save his marriage. Only Wayne was in the red. After all, it later turned out that Vanessa had a connection with at least five players from his club. Plus, from one of them (as was assured from Terry), she was pregnant, but had an abortion. Here's a dishonorable story. But now Wayne Bridge is probably happy. His wife is young, beautiful and decent, so there is nothing to complain about.
Achievements
Finally, a few words about what Bridge managed to achieve in career terms. He has not so many titles. In 2003, he won the FA Cup with Southampton - his very first achievement. And with Chelsea he became the Premier League champion in the 2004/2005 season. Subsequently, in 2007, he won the FA Cup and the Football League Cup. A total of four trophies. But most importantly, the Bridge left with dignity and gained its happiness outside of football.
