Someone tell me I haven't just completely made this up but i can't find any evidence of the story online....
I think it was quite a while after he left us, but Marlon Harewood posed as a painter and decorator called Marlon Martin because he was having an affair with some bit and he didn't want her finding out he was a semi-famous footballer. And it made the red tops.
Yep it did happen, think it was when he was still with us too.
imagine actually having a job that slags drop their drawers for in an instant then coming out with the lie that you are the black Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen and it actually working.
Stan Collymore tried it on with my missus a few years back.
She knew exactly who he was but didn’t let on. He introduced himself as Stanley and said that he was unemployed and looked for a job in London.
Apparently he was reasonably charming but a bit slimy. She had a lucky escape I guess as when she come home she only got a medium beating from me for daring to leave the house.
