The Shaggers Hall of Fame
Wilt Chamberlain
Basketballer 'Wilt the Stilt' claimed in 1991 that he had slept with 20,000 women, adding: 'I am a man of distinctive taste and most of the women I have encountered, the average Joe would have proposed marriage to on the first date.'
George Best
Best was an accomplished womaniser. 'Just as I wanted to outdo everyone when I played, I had to outdo everyone when we were on the town,' he said. But he was quick to dismiss speculation that he had slept with seven Miss Worlds: 'It was only three,' he said.
Dennis Rodman
'Stringfellows is the business,' was Rodman's comment on life in England. After high-profile affairs in America - including a nine-day marriage to Carmen Electra - he brought his charm to Celebrity Big Brother and Celebrity Love Island. He didn't pull.
Sean Avery
The New York Rangers' bad boy has a list of rumoured conquests that reads like a slasher movie's cast list. The ice hockey star's ex-girlfriends include Rachel Hunter and Elisha Cuthbert, and he has been linked with Lake Bell and Olsen twin Mary-Kate.
Shane Warne
A string of rumours - a fling with a stripper, phone sex with a nurse - led to a split with wife Simone in 2005. She eventually took him back, but the marriage disintegrated once more when he accidentally sent her a text message intended for his new mistress.
Magic Johnson
'I was never at a loss for female companionship,' wrote Johnson in 1991, shortly after announcing that he had tested positive for HIV. 'I was infected by having unprotected sex. The problem is that I can't pinpoint the time, place or woman. It's a matter of numbers.'
