[h1]Ferdinand's
a bed devil [/h1][h2]Court hears list of
United ace's lovers [/h2]
Fling battle ... Rio Ferdinand outside court
RIO Ferdinand's TEN alleged secret lovers were named in the High Court yesterday.
A stripper, a topless model and a Pop Idol hopeful were among those said to have romped with the Man U and England ace.
Married dad-of-three Ferdinand, 32, is suing over a Sunday newspaper story about an affair with an interior designer.
The list of Ferdinand's lovers was given to a judge - with enough for the ace to field a women's SOCCER TEAM if he also roped in his wife.
The names of ten girls who claim to have been bedded by the randy Manchester United idol were revealed by lawyers portraying him as a shameless love cheat.
At least seven have said the Red Devils defender romped with them while he was going out with Rebecca Ellison - now his missus and mother of his three kids.
The sexy squad was reeled off by Gavin Millar QC - defending the Sunday paper.
Idol ... Manchester United star Rio Ferdinand
Ferdinand is demanding "substantial" damages of £50,000 for alleged "gross invasion" of his privacy.
But Mr Millar told London's High Court the player was "the author of his own misfortune" for claiming he was a "reformed individual".
The QC insisted: "Disclosure of an affair was well justified in the public interest.
"The claimant's concern is about the effect of the article on the public image he has so painstakingly constructed.
"He has misled the public over a period of years."
Mr Millar went on to brand the superstar's conduct "reckless and self-destructive".
The barrister declared: "He must carry some responsibility for placing himself and his family in the predicament in which they now find themselves." The other women he named were:
POP IDOL CONTESTANT Sarah Whatmore, 30 - who the footballer met in a trendy Manchester bar back in December 2002.
BRAZILIAN MODEL Tatiane Rosalino, 26, who had accompanied him on a magazine shoot the same month.
VIRGIN AIR HOSTESS Lauren Alcorn, 31. She claimed he paid £7,500 for her to have an abortion during a five-year fling that began in January 2003.
RAUNCHY DUO Cathrine Shepherd, 27, and Savannah Benson, 26 - who appeared in a videoed orgy on holiday in Ayia Napa, Cyprus.
ISRAELI MODEL No1 Lilach Yafe, 29, who regularly met the footballer in Tel Aviv.
TOPLESS MODEL Holly McGuire, 33. Ferdinand told the beauty he was single and she was the only girl for him.
STRIPPER Coralie Robinson, 22, from Tokyo. She told how Ferdinand panicked when Rebecca arrived in Japan on an unannounced visit.
ISRAELI MODEL No2 Tslil Sela, 22, who hooked up with him at his stag do in June 2009.
INTERIOR DESIGNER Carly Storey, 32 - the woman whose revelations sparked the lawsuit.
Revealed ... Rio Ferdinand's leggy XI
Mr Millar insisted she only spoke to the Sunday Mirror to help with her "emotional development" - and not for a kiss-and-tell payment.
She did get £16,000 for her story. Ferdinand hit the roof when he found out.
He told the court this week he felt "angry and upset". The pair first met in East London when he was a skinny West Ham junior aged 17. They were still exchanging saucy text messages in February last year when he was handed the England captaincy, the court heard.
The footballer claims that when the story appeared they had not seen each other in person for six years.
But Mr Millar said: "He has publicly lied about his fidelity."
He pointed to the player having previously admitted to cheating on Rebecca - adding: "The claimant should not be allowed to have his cake and eat it."
Carly had been expected to give evidence, but went abroad just before the proceedings started.
The judge will deliver his ruling at a later date.
