What Was Mesut Up To In Vegas, Anyway? The Secret Footballer Thinks He Knows!

This summer we all had lots of fun wondering what on earth Mesut was up to in Vegas (and who the hell spends 2 weeks there anyway?)

Well, perhaps we can get an idea by turning to The Guardian's "Secret Footballer" for an inside look.

For those of you who are puzzled, The Guardian (which runs the best football sports page of any kind) has a "Secret Footballer" who writes tell-all columns about life at the top. He writes anonymously, since his contract forbids arrangements with newspapers of this kind. While there are certainly many clues dropped as to his identity, and there is a running competition (and even a webpage "whoisthesecretfootballer.com") among readers to determine who he is (and one theory is that he doesn't exist), he has yet to be unearthed.

For now he's still writing columns and has published a book (again, anonymously) of his experiences of the pressures of life in the Prem, playing abroad, his battles with crippling depression etc...

A complete list of his columns CAN BE FOUND HERE

And here is an excerpt from one of his books of a vacation taken in Las Vegas...

Hi! It's my first post here even if I'm reading what you've posted for some times now!

I hope I'll do everything right! And english isn't my first language so tell me if I make any mistake!

Back to Mesut, now!

Here is the Real madrid official portrait!

What do you think?

Personally I would have prefered without the hair band and with some strands in his eyes!
