Struggling to get out of the pool stage, lads?
Published: Today at 00:59
THE fabulous holidays enjoyed by our top footballers are in a different league to anything most Brits can afford.
And just days after the final Premier League match of the season, footie stars and their WAGs jetted off again to soak up the sun at some of the world’s most luxurious resorts.
With Euro 2012 kicking off next month, England supporters will be hoping the trips will give the likes of Wayne Rooney and Joe Hart the boost they need to bring home the trophy.
Here, we reveal the resorts which are perfectly kitted out for our footballers’ extravagant tastes.
Las Vegas
Wayne Rooney (Man Utd)
Emmanuel Adebayor (Man City/Tottenham)
Wes Brown (Sunderland)
MAN U’s Roo and wife Coleen were hoping to strike it rich on their break to the gambling capital of the world.
The couple shared cocktails and kisses this week in the pool at the Encore Beach Club hotel Las Vegas.
They are both big fans of America’s “Sin City”.
The couple spent part of their honeymoon there in 2008 and went again just after son Kai, two was born.
But any hopes of another romantic trip were soon dashed when Wayne’s former team-mate Wes Brown turned up.
The lads splashed around in the pool at the swanky hotel, which is a favourite with celebrities.
And flamboyant Emmanuel Adebayor made it a hat-trick as he became the third footie star to spend his post-season break at the Vegas hotel.
The striker – who spent last season on loan to Tottenham from Man City – flashed a gold chain as he chatted to girls yards from Wayne and Wes.
Dubai
Peter Crouch (Stoke City)
STOKE striker Peter Crouch headed off on a family holiday with wife Abbey Clancy and 14-month-old daughter Sophia.
And their little girl did the double when it came to her parents’ interests.
She showed she is taking her footie skills seriously as she clutched on to a football while also displaying a sense of style similar to her model mum’s by wearing sunglasses and a bandana.
Caribbean
Michael Carrick (Man Utd)
MANCHESTER United ace Michael Carrick should have been shown the red card for these foul shorts.
The midfielder wore the wacky trunks as he soaked up the sunshine with wife Lisa and one-year-old son Jacey on the Caribbean island of Barbados.
He might want to change his son’s kit too. Fancy putting him in rival Man City’s colours!
There was no sign of the couple’s daughter, four-year-old Louise.
Let’s hope she was elsewhere – in a red swimsuit.
Marbella
Tom Cleverley (Man Utd)
OVER at La Sala beach bar in Spain, Man United midfielder Tom Cleverley adopted the boyband look of white vest, sunglasses and baseball cap.
But the Red Devil is clearly more of an angel in the eyes of the ladies who swarmed around him as he downed a few ciders.
A crowd-pleaser both on and off the pitch.
As well as a favourite resort of footballers, “Marbs” is the summer haunt of The Only Way Is Essex stars.
Tom’s team-mates will be well jel.
Dubai
Joe Hart (Man City)
MANCHESTER City and England goalie Joe Hart celebrated winning the Premier League title by whisking girlfriend Kimberly Crew off to the luxurious Jumeirah Zabeel Saray hotel.
Hart was also spotted clinking glasses with team-mate Adam Johnson as they necked a £1,000 bottle of vodka at the swanky Cavalli nightclub.
It seems he’s as good at downing shots as he is at saving them.

NO sooner has the final whistle blown than our pampered footie stars switch the pitch for the pool.
Creatures of habit, there’s no backpacking in Nepal or trekking in the Andes for this lot. No, it’s all hedonistic fun in the sun with clubs, casinos and swim-up bars a must.
Predicting where the Premier League stars will be for their summer holidays is far easier than guessing where they’ll start next season.
Dubai, Vegas, the Caribbean and Marbella have always been footballer favourites.
But wherever they go, it’s good news for travel agents. Sales to hotels rocket after a visit from a footballing hero.
