Manchester United have turned to the clergy in a bid to sort out their randy players.
Club chaplain Rev John Boyers has told The Daily Star, that in the wake of the recent Ryan Giggs scandal, he has been asked to speak to star players about their ‘sexual ethics.’
It was recently suggested that Giggs has offered to have sex therapy, so we suppose a bit of spiritual guidance wouldn’t hurt either and after the amount of kiss and tell stories concerning football stars in recent years, Boyers says he is happy to point players in the right direction.
The chaplain, a Baptist minister who joined United from Watford FC in 1992 explained:
“I do some work with the academy teaching them life skills – situations in life they may encounter and how they might cope. “Things like friendship, sexual ethics, bereavement, bullying and prejudice, racism. I try to help them prepare for adult life.
“I also do general pastoral support and spiritual support work right across the club and as people have got to know me and trust me they open up and talk to me about life, issues and problems.
“We’ve had many situations in football ranging from drugs scandals to financial scandals and behavioural scandals which show there is real worth in having a chaplaincy.’’
“I guess some people heed advice more than others,’’ a source added. “Rev John is a highly regarded member of the team and does his best to help set our young players along the right path. Handling fame and all that goes with it is not easy.’’
In other news, Natasha Giggs has landed her first magazine deal and admitted that she repeatedly slept with her brother in law, because she was bored with her life.
Well as long as she had a good excuse eh?
