AN eagle-eyed neighbour has poured more fuel on the latest AFL sex scandal. And it reads like a script from Benny Hill, or ultimate pantsman Alvin Purple.

Page 13 last week revealed that the relationship between a prominent footy figure and influential industry colleague had disintegrated amid allegations that the former — apparently happily married — was getting it on with the latter’s partner.

A neighbour’s account of latest AFL sex scandal reads like a script from ultimate pantsman Alvin Purple.

PAGE 13: FOOTY’S NEW SEX SCANDAL REVEALED

Now a neighbour has detailed how they witnessed the footy figure frequently coming and going (sorry, couldn’t resist) from the industry colleague’s home in inner Melbourne when he was out.

“It was ridiculous”, said the neighbour. “Every single time he would wear a dark navy hat pulled down over his eyes, with a big jacket and the collar turned up.”

The neighbour has even recounted a farcical scene when the footy figure was almost caught with his pants down.

As the cuckolded colleague unexpectedly arrived at his front door one day, the spellbound neighbour watched as the frantic footy figure and the bed-headed partner desperately grappled to get the back gate open.

“XX (name removed) was at the front gate and there was panic at the back because XX (name removed) and XX (name removed) were trying to get the back gate open.”

Far be it from Page 13 to cast aspersions on the bedroom antics of others. But maybe the AFL set the moral bar too high for everyone in the game when it started preaching about marriage, affairs and keeping your trousers on.

It certainly has not been lost on a few with knowledge of the affair allegations in the industry, not least the footy figure’s former colleague. And while this latest scandal is all being kept very much hush-hush at the moment, it is understood those involved are getting increasingly nervous. Watch this space.
