Fulham gave players secret mobiles to call mistresses, claims new book

Fulham players were given club mobile phones so they could speak to their mistresses, a new book has claimed.

In his autobiography Seduced By Life, Danish tennis star Frederik Fetterlein claims club officials handed out mobiles so the players could plan illicit meetings with girlfriends.

Fetterlein, 41, told The Sun : "One day I visited one of my good friends at Fulham FC.

"Shortly after the training session ended an assistant took a basket filled with mobile phones and passed them on to various players.

"Some used these phones for about an hour or so until they left the football complex to drive home. It was their girlfriend-mobile — the phone they could use to speak freely to their mistresses."

A Fulham spokesman told the newspaper: "We won't comment on unsubstantiated allegations."
