Baywatch babe Carmen Electra’s highly charged relationship with NBA wildman Dennis Rodman is well documented – but in many ways her alleged tryst with another sports star is far more shocking.
For one former Premier League maverick teased over his “big hooter” claimed he had sex with the American actress and model, who turns 51 today (April 20), in a pool “for hours”.
Ex-Bolton, Aston Villa and Crystal Palace playmaker Sasa Curcic, 51, said that during his football heyday he bedded a string of high-profile models – including Carmen.

The somewhat forgotten star, now 51, also claimed to have romped with supermodels Naomi Campbell and Eva Herzigova.
Curcic, who retired at 29 to ‘dedicate himself to sex’, is no stranger to controversy, having once missed a match for Aston Villa after deciding to get a nose job without his manager’s permission.
But his revelation about wild pool sex with Carmen is among his most jaw-dropping, especially considering his ex-wife was ridiculed over his prominent, larger than average nose.

Once referred to as “the Serbian George Best” in honour of his talent for both playing and partying, Curcic became Bolton’s record signing when he joined from Partizan Belgrade in his homeland in 1995.
He joined Aston Villa for £4million in 1996, then Crystal Palace a couple of years later. Brief spells at MLS side MetroStars and Motherwell in Scotland followed before he hung up his boots.
When he arrived in the US in 1999, he declared that he wanted to become the “Dennis Rodman of MLS”.

And if his claim is to be believed, he did have one thing in common with the 6ft 6ins basketball legend – Carmen.
Speaking to the Sun, Curcic recalled his days as a playboy footballer, saying: “She (Naomi Campbell) was a Crystal Palace fan. She came to a game and we met in the VIP box. After two weeks I invited her to a party.
“She was a tough girl, I had to wait a month. It was great in bed but it was a mess. Woman’s hair disgusts me, when I see it on the floor I get p***ed off, and Naomi used to leave it everywhere. It was a disaster, like all models.”
He added: “I had a good time with Eva Herzigova and I made love in the pool with Carmen Electra for hours. She was the best in bed and the craziest woman I have ever met.”

When he called time on his career in the US, he was reported to have said: “I have given up football for sex.
“I wouldn’t sign for another club even if they gave me £10m, but it would be different if they were to offer me 15 different women from across the world. I would tell the club chairman: ‘Please let me make these women happy – I will satisfy them like they have never been satisfied.’ Nowadays, every time I think about football I feel like throwing up.”
He later described the report as “rubbish”, before signing a deal at Motherwell.

But after an unsuccessful trial at lowly Tranmere, he ended up doing a spot of bar work in London’s Soho.
While at Villa, Curcic’s off-field antics included hiring a double decker party bus carrying booze and women for him and his teammates.
His boss Brian Little has since recalled how he missed a game after going off to have his “Roman nose” made smaller.
In 2019, Curcic made light of the op, telling the Daily Mail: “Gareth Southgate tells the story about me missing a Villa game to have nose surgery.

“Come on, I just wanted to look better. Gareth was jealous. I told him and Andy Townsend, ‘Guys, if you come we’ll get a discount, three noses for the price of two!'”
Lisa Aldred, with whom he had a two-year marriage in the Midlands, said of his nose job: “I think it was more to do with vanity because he was always telling me he’d like to have a nose like mine.
“He got into trouble with Villa because he didn’t tell them he was having the surgery and it meant he couldn’t play until it had healed.”
Curcic’s marriage to Lisa was investigated by the Home Office as it came at a time when he was having work permit issues.
Commenting on her ex’s looks, which weren’t conventionally good, she added: “Some of my friends couldn’t understand why I’d fallen for someone with such a big hooter.”

After retiring, Curcic went on to win the Serbian Celebrity Big Brother, scooping a $50,000 prize.
He was still talking about his dalliances with the fairer sex, though.
He recalled: “At one point I had girlfriends in 24 different countries and it was great, but I don’t run after every skirt – I am very picky.”
In 2009, he estimated that he had “10 or 15 girls in Belgrade”.
In more recent years, he has worked as a coach at Palace’s academy and launched his own academy.

Carmen, meanwhile, has never publicly addressed Curcic’s claim.
In the past, though, she has confessed that she is an “expert” when it comes to all things in the bedroom and has a particular favour towards whips.
She spoke to The Mirror back in 2009 about her raunchy escapades and shed some light on an X-rated gift she was once given by a friend.
Carmen said: “I think they meant [the handcuffs] as a joke, so they were a bit surprised when I used them all the time. In the wrong hands, the whip can be painful, but I’m an expert at handling it, so it’s a very erotic thing.”
She continued: “That’s what I say to girls – if your man steps out of line, give him a little whip.”
