      The Sun on Sunday revealed earlier this year how the defender invited Jaqueline to his stag do and even texted her while on his honeymoon.
      Jaqueline said: “He said he loved me and tried to reassure me his marriage didn’t mean anything.”
      The player previously ignored requests from her lawyers, but has now agreed to the test following letters to his club.
      Jaqueline told The Sun on Sunday: “My legal team’s been asking him to take a test for almost a year, but he has constantly refused, saying he was too busy with training and he couldn’t travel because of Covid restrictions and quarantine.
      “He’s finally surfaced after months of letters and requests, and got in touch with my lawyer — but still hasn’t been in touch to see his daughter.
      “We haven’t bothered responding as now it’s too late and we will see him in court when the case goes before a judge.”

      Jaqueline added: “This same player is happy to portray himself as a family man and greet kids in the crowd and give them his shirt.”
      The hearing is set for November 10. More

      Man City fan Kaylum said he was sacked from his labouring job that morning for being late and did it to cheer himself up.
      Kaylum, who had necked two pints of beer, said: “While I was in the stands, I thought ‘f*** it’.”
      He had wanted to take a penalty in Tuesday’s National League game, shown live on BT Sport.
      But, with Altrincham losing, Rooney ran to the corner on 89 minutes to waste time.
      Kaylum then dashed on and pulled off a tackle worthy of Liverpool’s Virgil van Dijk.
      He raised his arms and slid over the pitch to celebrate, before being escorted out.

      Rooney tweeted after their 2-1 win: “Lad should have got Man of the Match for that tackle! Can’t go in with two feet these days though!”
      After the clip went viral, Kaylum texted his boss to thank him for firing him. He added: “I told him he’d made me famous. He’d be f**** fuming about that.”
      Police said yesterday they are investigating.

      But now Dele, 25, has subbed her for dates with Made In Chelsea newcomer Nicole Berry.
      Pics shared with The Sun show them linking fingers and with her head on his shoulder.
      They were joined by Chelsea FC star Ben Chilwell, 24, and Nicole’s model pal Sofia Cretaro at Sexy Fish restaurant in London’s Mayfair — before heading to Chiltern Firehouse.
      Dele is said to have first contacted Canadian Nicole, 24, via social media.
      A source said: “She made him go the extra mile by ignoring four of his messages. But she finally said ‘yes’ to a date and had fun. But after a photographer spotted them Nicole has taken a step back.
      “She doesn’t want Made In Chelsea fans to think she’s dating a footballer when she’s being paid to raise blood levels of the men on the show.
      “Nicole is hoping her TV exposure will see her model career take off. Seeing the odd Premier League footballer won’t stop that in a hurry.”

      Friends said Chilwell and Sofia “had fun” but did not gel in the same way.
      The Sun told how Dele split from Ruby Mae, 23, in February after she got fed up of him playing video game Fortnite.
      Dele’s spokeswoman last night said he is single and he has never dated Nicole but they were “in a group of people at a dinner in London”

      David Beckham bags £150million to become the face of the Qatar 2022 World Cup

      by

      DAVID Beckham will be unveiled as the face of the Qatar World Cup next month — netting a cool £150million. The former England captain, 46, nicknamed Goldenballs, signed a deal worth £15million a year over the next decade to become the country’s ambassador.

      Earlier this month he flew into the capital Doha for a week touring ­stadiums and meeting dignitaries ahead of next year’s tournament.
      The country has faced huge controversy over its human rights record, particularly its attitude towards women and gay people.
      However David was assured fans would be safe and allowed to display rainbow flags in stadiums – the symbol of the LGBTQ community.
      Homosexuality is illegal but application of the law — identical in both Dubai and Abu Dhabi — has become progressively more liberal. David was also informed about a growing female presence in government.
      He consulted with wife Victoria, 47, whose pop band The Spice Girls famously sung about “girl power”, before signing.
      Yesterday a source said: “David believes in Qatar’s commitment to progress and that the World Cup — the first to be held in the Arab world — can effect significant positive change.

      “He strongly believes in the power of football to bridge differences but, crucially, has seen the progress on issues that matter.”
      David, who has had links with the Qataris since he played for Paris St-Germain, will also promote tourism and culture.
      The source went on: “By signing David, the hope is more westerners will be encouraged to see its beautiful beaches, vast expanses of sand dunes and incredible skyscrapers.”
      A spokeswoman for David said: “David has always talked about the power of football as a force for good on many levels.
      “As we reach the one year to go point he will join the wider football community that is coming together for the World Cup 2022 and he’s looking forward to what he thinks will be a great tournament.”

      Two teams set UK record for longest penalty shootout at 44 kicks

      by

      TWO teams set a UK record for the longest penalty shootout — with 44 needed to split them.Every player for non-league sides Old Wulfrunians and Lane Head had to take two each.
      Old Wulfs and Lane Head have set the UK record for the longest penalty shootout

      Old Wulfs left-back Jack Marsh, 27, a schoolteacher, slotted home the winning penalty after around 35 minutes of drama.
      After his side won the shootout 19-18, Jack said: “The overwhelming feeling was one of relief that it was over.
      “No one had a clue it was a record at the time and everyone was just glad we could finally go home.”
      The West Midlands teams met on Tuesday night in the JW Hunt Cup.
      Lane Head, from Bloxwich, were 3-2 up with ten minutes to go when Wolverhampton side Old Wulfs equalised.
      The shootout started at 9.30pm in front of 60 fans — and finished at around 10.05pm. Jack’s dad Simon, Old Wulfs’ chairman, said: “After the 22nd penalty I went to get the team’s fish and chips. When I got back it was still going.”

      Ref Jamie Howe, 42, said: “When one of the keepers walked up for his penalty one of his team-mates shouted, ‘Just miss, we want to go home’.”
      He scored but others missed. The 44 kicks beat the UK record of 34, but was shy of the world’s longest, 48, in Namibia.
      Lane Head secretary Martin Davies said: “It was great to be involved in such a memorable match that has gone into the record books. But we are gutted.”
      After 35 minutes of drama, Jack Marsh (front row, second from left) scored the winning goal More
