A number of footballers have had some embarrassing moments after getting drunkBeing a professional footballer means an individual needs to set an off the field example and be a role model in society. People look up to them for inspiration and they are regarded in the highest order by their fans.
But the glamour and fame attached along with the game is always tempting which often lead to messy nights and tabloid splashes.
Although drinking is something we do not encourage at all, we have compiled a set of footballers and the things they did when they were drunk.From speaking different languages to driving into a female prison, take a look at them.
#1 Sergio Ramos
The Real Madrid defender is known for his short temper on the pitch. And the record number of red cards he has gained in his playing career does reflect that fact.
But just as fans were starting to get impatient with his liabilities, Sergio Ramos stepped up and transformed his game, becoming one of the most important players for the Blancos.
His performances in the semi-final against Bayern Munich and the stoppage time equaliser in the Champions League final against Atletico Madrid shaped up Real’s successful campaign.
It was the first time he had tasted European success with his club, carving his name in Bernabeu’s history as the one who brought La Decima. With his country, he has been a part of Spain’s golden generation winning two Euros and one World Cup, which meant that he often got to celebrate the joyous occasion. And often, the Spanish international has enjoyed his victories by getting drunk.
Alcohol gets Ramos all cheered up as stated by his Spanish teammates. The Madrid defender likes to kiss everyone in sight when he is drunk.

#2 Frank Lampard
Frank Lampard is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to have worn the Chelsea shirt. Today, he stands as the top goalscorer in the club’s history and is one of the most respected players in the modern game.
But the former Blues midfielder seemed to have lost all his class back in September 2001 at the Heathrow International airport when he mocked and swore at stranded US tourists after flights were grounded due to the 9/11 attacks by terrorists on the World Trade Center. The 36-year-old did all of this under the influence of alcohol after going on a 5-hour drinking binge before returning to the Posthouse hotel where they abused hotel guests.
Lampard and his fellow players were heavily fined for the incident that happened when Chelsea’s game against Levski Sofia of Bulgaria was suspended as a mark of respect for those killed on 9/11. Even the hotel manager described their behaviour as disgusting as they didn’t seem to care about the tragic incident.

#3 Nicklas Bendtner
So the Lord likes to drop his pants and rub himself against a taxi when drunk! Apparently, those were the reports that came out from Copenhagen, Denmark after Arsenal’s exit to Bayern Munich in the 2014 Champions League final.
The Danish international had a torrid time at the Emirates, spending most of his time on the bench, even though he featured for his national side. And that seemed to have frustrated internet’s most trolled player as he reportedly targeted a taxi driver in Ryesgade, Copenhagen.
It was said that he removed his trousers and rubbed himself up against the side of the taxi. The 26-year-old then allegedly whipped the cab with his belt and called the poor cab driver a “little wh*re”. He was so concerned that he called the police.
Hold him or he will abuse ten more.

#4 Wayne Rooney
Wayne Rooney had been previously spotted smoking and urinating on the streets after getting drunk. Seemed as if he was just like every other brawling English man on the streets of Manchester. But alcohol also is responsible for bringing out Rooney the singer.
The Manchester United forward is known to be a big fan of the band Stereophonics and he himself transforms into a singer after getting drunk it seems. The England international is actually a decent singer if you hear him in the video below. Along with that, Rooney also loves to dance to Michael Jackson tunes while he parties with his friends.

#5 Bastian Schweinsteiger
Well, Bastian Schweinsteiger also loves to sing raucously, especially in the post-victory parties when he was with Bayern Munich. However, those celebrations were at the expense of abusing domestic opponents and arch-rivals Borussia Dortmund.
The German international lead the celebrations by singing “BVB, sons of b******” on stage. The video went viral on the internet and sparked some heated discussions between the Bayern and Dortmund fans. While some didn’t even care and went along with the incident, Schweinsteiger later apologised for his behaviour.
