Ex-Liverpool player denies that he’s a porn star
By Tom Bogert
Ex-Liverpool goalkeeper Pegguy Arphexad has rumored to have found a new career in the porn industry, though staunchly denies it.
Okay so when I read “ex-Liverpool player” I hoped harder than I’ve ever hoped for just about anything in my life that it was going to be Ryan Babel. Or Milan Jovanovic. He seems like someone who might’ve flamed out of football and jumped into a different industry.
But it was neither of them, it was a little known and little used player who was at the club from 2000-03: Pegguy Arphexad.
Arphexad, the former keeper, had been linked to have joined the adult film industry under the alias “The Stopper”. The folklore had been around a while, apparently, and Arphexad has finally cleared his name, via Daily Mail.
"‘Look, this is a bad rumor. It’s been going round a long time. One English guy wrote on the internet years and years ago that I was doing this and now people say to me: ‘Hey, are you making porn films?’ I haven’t made any porn films, okay. I don’t do that. I work for a sports insurance company. That’s what I do. Put it in your paper – I don’t do porn films, just insurance, okay?’"
The backup stopper played for Liverpool in a time that it was possible for him to make just two appearances over three season but he won six medals, all on the bench as an unused substitute.
This is the gig that Brad Jones signed up for, though he didn’t know that Pepe Reina would leave, Simon Mignolet would join and be utter dross, just like the club, launching Jones into action.
If Jones never played for Mignolet last season, he very well may still be at the club. It’s completely possible. The only time he would have had action off the training ground would have been in friendlies where he looked adequate.
So, to summarize that desultory tangent, thank you, Mignolet, for being so bad that we were able to find out that Jones was even worse.
