      However his life is just as hectic at home as he doubles up as Red Bulls’ chief executive of Red Bull Racing, Red Bull Powertrains and Red Bull Advanced Technologies at the factory in Milton Keynes.
      While his wife, Geri, has just finished writing a book for children titled Rosie Frost and the Falcon Queen.
      They got together in 2014 and married in 2015, however, some thought that the relationship would not last, but Horner insists that they “complement each other well”.

      I was a record British transfer who marked Man Utd legend George Best then got married the next day

      by

      FORMER full-back Dennis Rofe had the company of two “Best” men for his wedding weekend in 1972.On Saturday November 4, 1972, Rofe was given the tough task of marking George Best as Leicester City drew 2-2 with Manchester United at Filbert Street and the Northern Ireland  wizard scored one of the goals.

      Less than 24 hours later, the Foxes defender married Sue with a more conventional best man.
      Last November Dennis and Sue celebrated their golden wedding anniversary.
      Now 72 and retired, Rofe said: “That was quite a 48 hours. All the memories came flooding back when we had our 50th at the end of last year.”
      As a schoolboy, Rofe started playing as a striker before switching to midfield and then full-back, where he spent his entire professional career.
      Read More on Football
      Grammar school-educated, he was spotted by Leyton Orient scouts playing in tournaments in East London — with O’s then manager Jimmy Bloomfield a big influence early on.
      Rofe became a key member in the club’s Third Division triumph in 1969-1970 and the 1971-1972 FA Cup run to the quarter-finals.
      He added: “Jimmy became Leicester manager in 1971.
      “It was a no- brainer for me to rejoin my old boss.

      “I moved to Leicester for a then British record for a defender of £112,000. That lasted just 24 hours because David Nish left  Foxes the next day to join Derby for £250,000!”
      “I joined Leicester on the same day Frank Worthington moved to the club from Huddersfield. What an incredible character Frank was — and so dearly missed.
      “We stayed at the Holiday Inn together for the first few months.
      “I always joke that I moved into the Holiday Inn at the age of 22 and by the time I had spent time with Frank, I was 58 when I left the hotel a few months later!
      “I remember Sue and I buying our first house for £12,000 with a mortgage of £8,000. My dad was panicking, asking me how on earth I was going to pay it back.
      “I absolutely loved my time at Leicester. We would go out once a week — if we didn’t have a midweek game — to a working man’s club and play darts and snooker and would put prizes into the raffle to help the proceeds to underpin these places.
      “I was honoured to get my chance to play for the England Under-23s.
      “I played against Czechoslovakia. I still have the England shirt and cap. They are treasured possessions.”
      ON THE MOVE
      He switched from Leicester to Chelsea in 1980 after Bloomfield left.
      His three seasons with the Blues were spent in the second tier and by 1982 he was keen to move again.
      He said: “I was living in Aldershot and a neighbour suggested I speak to Lawrie McMenemy at Southampton.
      “I managed to get to talk directly to Lawrie in the oddest way. At the time there was a football agent called Dennis Roach, so when I rang to get through to Lawrie, I was put straight through to him — with them thinking I was the agent.
      “McMenemy was very honest with me. He said he was happy to give me three months to see if it worked out. I spent most of the next 23 years at the club as a player and on the coaching staff.”
      After McMenemy left Saints,  Rofe was soon promoted by new manager Chris Nicholl to first-team coaching duties, until the club got rid of them both in 1991.
      Rofe added: “I became manager at Bristol Rovers but the board had   no   money and it was  impossible.”
      He returned to Southampton as youth team coach until 1997 — and had a third stint from 1998 to 2005.
      That left Rofe admitting: “I must be the only person to have been sacked three times there. But I still have a huge soft spot for the place.”
      Incredibly he was appointed by three Saints bosses and survived under SEVEN more.
      Rofe recalled: “I then went on to work for the Football League as a regional manager for its youth development programme. I would oversee the area between Oxford down to Yeovil. I thoroughly enjoyed the role.
      “Then an old mate, Paul Groves, took over at Bournemouth and wanted me to work with him.
      “However, not long after, Paul was replaced by Eddie Howe — a move which proved great for the club.
      “I moved into scouting for clubs like Wolves, Nottingham Forest and Charlton. Then everything changed after the Covid pandemic hit.
      “It completely stopped scouts  travelling around the country.”

      He added: “I maintain a huge  passion for the game in a lifetime of playing, coaching and managing. I love watching and being part of matches as much now as when I was playing.
      “Yes I’m 72 and was forced into retirement almost because of the restrictions of Covid but I would still love to be involved in the game. That will never leave me.”

      by

      FORMER footballer Jermain Defoe is dating a Love Island wannabe weeks after his marriage collapsed, it has been reported. The ex England star, 40, has been secretly seeing influencer Alisha LeMay, 31, who was tipped for the ITV dating show in 2019.

      And he was pictured leaving her home in Harlow, Essex, on Thursday morning. Alisha went to the front door in her brown dressing gown as he left.
      Meanwhile, Defoe wore a blue puffer jacket over a hooded top, designer ripped jeans and black trainers. He also had a Stetson hat and moustache.
      He climbed into his Range Rover before driving away as Alisha waved him off smiling.
      She then walked to her Land Rover Defender to pick up a bag from posh Selfridges, where she used to work as a personal shopper.

      TV football pundit Defoe was back again in the evening and drove off again the following morning.
      Sources told the MailOnline he had been a “regular visitor” in the past few weeks. They have also been seen in a nearby cafe.
      Alisha has posted glamorous photos from exotic locations including Jamaica, Ibiza, Paris and Capri in Italy on her social media.
      When she was rumoured to be on Winter’s Love Island, a source said: “Alisha is exactly the type of contestant ITV2 is looking for – she’s gorgeous, body confident and isn’t afraid to be herself.
      Most read in Football
      “She already works as an influencer and has collaborated with brands like PrettyLittleThing, Missguided and ASOS.
      “She’s an advocate of body positivity and often admits on her Instagram to never wanting to be perfect, which is an important message to young viewers of the show.”
      Last month Defoe sparked fears his marriage was in trouble after spending Christmas in the Caribbean while wife Donna stayed at home in Glasgow.
      The former Spurs and West Ham star, 40, was pictured without his wedding ring while Donna, also 40, has reverted to her maiden name of Tierney on social media and has unfollowed her hubby.
      Neither of them has posted about each other on social media for eight weeks.
      Both have removed Instagram images of the OK! magazine cover that featured their £200,000 wedding last June.
      The Sun on Sunday revealed Defoe had begged a nurse for sex just a month after getting married.
      A source said: “The marriage seems to be in trouble. You would think they would want to spend their first Christmas together as husband and wife but they haven’t so things aren’t looking at all good.”
      Defoe and Donna married at stately home Cliveden House, in Berkshire, in June last year.
      The lavish bash featured across 14 pages as well as the cover of OK! magazine later that month.
      But the £20,000 wedding has caused a riddle about whether it actually happened.
      The local register office has no record of him and his “bride” Donna Tierney legally getting married at the country house venue, which it normally would do.
      There is also no record of any marriage in Glasgow where they were living at the time on June 4 last year.
      A source said: “It’s all a mystery. They didn’t let the mag have their reporter and photographer at the wedding at Cliveden House.
      “Instead, they had their own photographer and sent them the pictures, and then subsequently gave an interview to a reporter.

      “But no one is aware of them actually getting married and there were no pictures in the magazine of anyone marrying them.”
      When The Sun approached Donna — who has removed the pics from her social media — and asked if they actually got wed, she said: “Of course we did. I’ve heard these rumours, I don’t know where they’ve come from.”
