Sex on the pitch

Nives Celsius made the embarrassing revelation on a Serbian chat show, saying she got intimate with defender Drpic (pictured) under floodlights at Dinamo Zagreb's Maksimir Stadium.

"Dino had arranged that people should turn on the stadium lights for us and he finally fulfilled his dream of having sex in the middle of a football pitch," said glamour model Celsius, who is promoting her book, entitled 'The Naked Truth'.

"It was very naughty."

Dinamo have responded by putting 27-year-old Drpic up for sale, and he could attract the interest of Premier League clubs including Tottenham Hotspur, whose midfield contains Drpic's compatriot and friend Luka Modric.

The site of Drpic and Celsius 's close encounter will be familiar to many English fans, as the Maksimir Stadium hosted England's 2-0 defeat to Croatia in Euro 2008 qualifying.

Last summer, Drpic and Celsius made news when a British couple holidaying in Croatia attempted to snatch their son Leone, who the tourists mistook for missing toddler Madeleine McCann.

"I started getting suspicious when the British woman approached Leone and started chatting with him," said Celsius.

"Suddenly she grabbed him by the arm. However, when I went over she realised my child was a boy and apologised."
