Ibiza stag party for Rooney

Here's the news we've not been waiting for, football's Mr Potato Head and his pals are coming to the island at the beginning of June. We've spent ten years trying to persuade people that the Sky television series Ibiza Uncovered only revealed the worst excesses of drunken young Brits in a couple of streets in a single resort. Can Wayne undo all that?

The signs aren't promising according to the Sunday Mirror's story. Apparently' "Roo's" do is being organised by "party-loving practical joker" Rio Ferdinand who is also "pretty well connected on the Ibiza party scene". Joining them will be Man United players Wes Brown and John O'Shea, along with Liverpool's Steven Gerrard, Peter Crouch and Jamie Carragher. Some of them aren't exactly unfamiliar with Ibiza.

I hope there aren't crowds of paparazzi now booking their easyJet flights in the hope of getting well-paid snaps of footballers behaving badly. There aren't any paps based here, thank god. An amazing number of celebs pop over to the island in the summer without being noticed, unless they want to be. I only know they've been here thanks to friends who are drivers, chefs and cleaners.

There is hope that Rooney's stag do won't attract too much unwanted attention. The guests are staying at the house that Jonathan Woodgate bought when he was playing for Real Madrid. It's not that easy to find. Roo also says he wants a quiet time and he hates dancing.

It's just as well as most of Ibizas' nightclubs aren't going to be in full swing when he arrives. He'll miss the Space opening party, so it will really have to be Pacha if somehow Ibiza's spirit of dance gets to Wayne.

With a bit of luck we'll never know as none of the tabloids will tell us. What happens in Ibiza stays in Ibiza.
