Mario Balotelli with Holly Henderson Glamour Model

He plays as a striker but it took a smart managerial performance to pull this one off.
Manchester City forward Mario Balotelli wasted no time in making a shrewd substitution that even Roberto Mancini would have been proud of.
The 21-year-old reportedly had a secret date with 32ff porn star and glamour model Holly Henderson whilst his girlfriend went to Italy for a modelling job.

A source told The Sun: 'He first met Holly in a club and has become infatuated with her.'

 

The Italian is allegedly doing a lot of chasing in his pursuit of Holly and the blonde model is making him work hard because she doesn't want to be just another notch on his bed post.
The source added to the newspaper: 'At first he told her he was single. This week he confessed — but said things were on the rocks.'

A quick substitution: Holly Henderson is reportedly seeing Mario Balotelli

Mario, dubbed Super Mario by Man City fans, was spotted with the 32-year-old porn star at the Marriot Hotel and Country Club where she was working on an episode of Celebrity Come Dine With Me.
According to reports the £24 million player turned up uninvited and watched Holly posing in a hot tub with former Hollyoaks and Celebrity Love Island star Paul Danan.
Super Mario was then recognised by fans and signed some autographs while carrying Holly's bags to her car.

As if that wasn't enough he showed he is a true gent by lighting up a cigarette for the Liverpudlian.
Last week he was spotted in a newsagents looking through the pages of porn magazine Fiesta! with his girlfriend Raffaella Fico standing nearby.
Despite the presence of his glamorous partner - not to mention the waiting photographer - Balotelli had a good laugh flicking through the top-shelf publication.

We're not so sure the striker will be laughing when he realises Rafaella has caught him offside though.

A burning desire: An effigy of Mario Balotelli is unveiled as Edenbridge's choice for a bonfire

Meanwhile, a bonfire society unveiled its annual celebrity guy today as the temperamental Mario.
In a dig at the player's house catching fire recently after a firework went off in his bathroom a 30ft effigy has been made of him by Edenbridge Bonfire Society.

Last year they chose Manchester United and England international Wayne Rooney to burn at the stake.
Jon Mitchell, a committee member of the Kent based society said: 'We were getting a bit worried because nobody had done anything silly enough to be our guy.

'We chose Balotelli because he made a bit of a fool of himself a few weeks ago by setting his house alight with fireworks.

'He's now capitalising on his little disaster as he's joined the campaign for firework safety so we fully support him on that.'
The effigy has Mario wearing his now famous shirt with the question Why Always Me? on which he unveiled after scoring against The Reds in the local derby last weekend.
He also has his trademark diamond studs in both ears and is carrying his house in one hand and a large firework rocket in the other.
