Ten Weird & Interesting Facts About Players At World Cup 2014

8. Carlos Salcido – Mexico

Did you know that Carlos Salcido once partied with a transsexual hooker?

There are many ways a player could have celebrated Mexico’s victory over Colombia four years ago, but canoodling with a transsexual prostitute in a Monterrey hotel room was probably one of the dumbest. Salcido, then at Fulham, was fined $50,000 (£30,000) for his troubles, yet he fled London for Mexico in 2011, claiming a robbery at his house made his family feel unsafe. Priorities, man!
