Gluttony – Antonio Cassano
This could have very well filed under Lust, but the former Italian wunderkind walks away with the gluttony tag for his incredible love of pastries!
I'll let Cassano explain what I mean -
"I had a friend who was a hotel waiter. His job was to bring me three or four pastries after I had sex. He would bring the pastries up the stairs, I would escort the woman to him and we would make an exchange: he would take the girl and I would take the pastries. Sex and then food, a perfect night."
Ah. Tony, you wasted talent you. Once called the “most technically gifted footballer I have seen” by none other Francesco Totti (incredibly high praise coming from one of the world's most technically gifted footballers) his insatiable appetite for pastries and other dessert condiments meant he grew overweight and led to Real Madrid fining him for every gram he was overweight!
The bundle of madness soon toned down, and cut down on the gluttony after marrying water polo player Carolina Marcialis – but it is hard to think of another footballer who threw away his undeniable talent for the love of some sweet, sweet, cupcake.
