Mario Balotelli’s Top Ten Funny Moments :
#10 £250,000 Strip Club Fine
In the Spring of 2012, ‘Super Mario’ was pictured leaving a strip
club in Liverpool on the Friday before he was due to play Bolton on the
Saturday for the Sky Blues. The Italian madman was subsequently fined
two weeks wages by manager, Roberto Mancini – but I’m sure he’d still do
it again!
#9 £25,000 Front Seat Money
One of my personal favorites: When Mario Balotelli was pulled over
by a Manchester policeman in one of his many expensive sports cars and
was found to have £25,000 sitting on his front seat in cash, the ex-Man
City star was asked why he had that amount of money on him, to which he
allegedly replied ‘because I can’ – only Balotelli!
There is not a vast amount to say on this, as I’m sure the vast
majority of football fans have already seen this. During his last season
with The Citizens, Mario became a YouTube sensation once again
following a video posted of him failing to get his training bib on
during a warm-up before a game for the former Premier League champions.
The fiasco only ended when a City coach came along to help him get it
over his head. This happened not just once, but twice – a fantastic
YouTube if you’re ever bored or need cheering up.
#7 Library Fines
A true act of kindness – or arrogance – from Super Mario this time.
It is reported that the Italian World Cup star walked into John Rylands
Library, which is owned by Manchester University and offered to pay off
all overdue library book debts, to which the librarian politely declined
– not his most ridiculous action by any means but still fairly
outrageous from the maverick striker.
#6 School Bully
This one could really be higher up in the rankings if it weren’t for
the next five to come. When signing an autograph for a young boy
outside Manchester City’s Carrington training centre, he asked why the
youngster was not at school, to which the boy replied: ‘because I am
being bullied.’ Balotelli, naturally, saw an opportunity here, as he
went into the school to confront the bully and speak to the headmaster
to ensure it never happened again – safe to say, I’m sure it never
happened again. Good job Mario!
#5 Homeless Man Donation
Yes, you are reading this correctly; Mario Balotelli did in fact
give money to a homeless man! After a £25,000 victory at a Manchester
casino, he then decided it would be a good idea to give £1,000 pounds of
his lucrative winnings to a homeless man on the street – only a
footballer, eh? Or just Balotelli?
#4 Darts At The Youth Team
#3 Why Always Me?
As I’m sure many of you will remember, Balotelli became the source
of yet another temporary trend. After the ex-City striker scored against
local rivals, Manchester United, he controversially lifted his shirt to
reveal a t-shirt that read ‘Why Always Me?’ - isn’t it fairly obvious
Mario? Either way, I think he was becoming a little fed up…
#2 Women’s Prison Raid
#1 Fireworks
In at number one - a hard one to top even for Mario is his firework
saga, while still playing for Manchester City. Proven loose cannon,
Balotelli, this time took it upon himself to get some fireworks and set
them off in the bathroom of his £3 million rented home the night before a
top-of-the-table clash with rivals Manchester United – absolutely
priceless!
