And just to combine football - with Jiggs mention of Everton - along with the group of "celebs" here's a few names that will be around the island, maybe even venturing to PP. And I wouldn't know a single one of them if I bumped into them. But I'm sure I would appreciate their fitness! No clarification needed on that!


WORLD CUP WINNING WEDDING FOR PREMIER LEAGUE STAR
By Humphrey Carter
LITTLE did Everton’s star Spanish midfielder, Mikel Arteta and his fiancée, Miss Spain 1999 Lorena Bernal know when they sent out their wedding invitations that many of the guests tonight are World Cup winners.

The Everton player who is being linked with a move to Manchester City and his fiancée have spent the best part of the week going over the final plans for this evening’s wedding at a private estate in Campos. The first of Spain’s World Cup winning side began arriving on Thursday.

Famous for being the star of the party, Arteta led the famous European Champions-winning celebrations in Madrid two years ago. Liverpool and Spain goal keeper Pepe Reina jetted into Palma on Thursday evening looking forward to the weekend of celebrations which apparently include a party at Mood club on Sunday.

Everton are currently on a pre-season tour in Australia and Australian international midfielder Tim Cahill, who played in the World Cup, has been given special leave to fly all the way to Majorca to be Arteta’s best man when he weds the model and actress.

The full guest list remains a mystery, as did the location of the wedding until two days ago.
But, fellow World Cup winner Xabi Alonso, who left Liverpool last year to join Real Madrid, has also arrived on the island. He is due to b joined by Majorca’s Albert Riera who also played for Liverpool prior to moving to CSKAMoscow over the summer.

A host of other Spanish celebrities from the world of acting, music and sports, such as tennis player Carlos Moya, are also expected. Real Madrid and Spain legend Raul is currently on holiday in Minorca, so he too could be popping over for the wedding. Riera and his wife Yolanda Ruiz flew in from Ibiza where another Spanish World Cup winner, Gerard Pique, has been spotted celebrating Spain’s historic defeat of Holland in last Sunday’s final.

But, the Balearics has not only been hosting Spain’s football legends over the past week.
More recently, Frank Lampard and Joe Cole have been holidaying with their families in Majorca while England skipper Steven Gerrard has been making the most of Ibiza with his Liverpool team mate and fellow England player, Jamie Carragher. They, however, went out of the World Cup over two weeks ago.

Ant was indeed in Puerto Pollensa he was with a large group of people incuding Jonothan Wilks(the nearest to Robbie I will ever get!) Glad to say that they were allowed to enjoy their meal in relitive peaceand quiet. Not surprised to see that Puerto Pollensa is a place that anyone can enjoy. They certainly had a blast with everyone else at the roundanout when Spain won the World Cup.

yes its good Ant was left to get on with his life without being harassed. What a pain it must be to be rich famous and constantly recognised! Seriously, if celebs feel they can come to PP and be left alone to enjoy a lovely place then that can only be good for PP and its reputation.

Oh my husband has just reminded me that about 3 years ago we saw Phil Mitchell from Eastenders. He was in a rather old and beaten up Renault. Gosh the list is growing lol.

I remember that, he flow over with us on Easyjet, he has a villa I think, but I'm afraid he falls into the category of, 'you know Phil Mitchel, he was in a soap once'

Yes - I know what you mean! I couldn't remember his name - probably didn't ever know it lol
I had to say to my husband 'you know - he's the drunk in Eastenders"!

But I bet his mum and dad are very proud of their son even if most people only recognise him as being 'in a soap once' He's a jobbing actor who had a break and has appeared on tv every week for god knows how many years. Well done Phil..you nasty piece of work!!!! Love him or hate him he will be recognised wherever he goes and may or may not enjoy the attention he gets.
