Blue Square Premier side Mansfield Town has named 29-year-old Carolyn Still their new CEO last week after becoming friends with the club chairman John Radford, prompting her to be the youngest to hold such a position in English football history.
However, interestingly, youngest footie boss Carolyn Still had a past career as an escort. According to The Sun newspaper, Carolyn started working for two escort agencies in London 10 years ago and was said to have met male punters “at different times of day and night” when she was studying for her politics degree as a means of paying for her university fees and debts. The newspaper also claimed that the new CEO was signed to an agency called Lucy Brookes and posed for her own pictures on the internet under the name “Leulla”.
After graduating, she headed to London to work as an account manager and then moved to Leeds to work at crisp makers Seabrook's before returning to escorting in 2009 because of the low income. Furthermore, “Brooke” is Still’s big nick-name which received great reviews from customers who would have hired her at hours at a time during her signing up with one Britain's biggest agency called McKenzie's which hit the headlines in 2007 when Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly hired five girls from the company for one night. Some sources suspected Carolyn Still was one of them because of her fame.
When asked about the allegations of her past, Carolyn shared: “I haven't had a hunky-dory life at all. I don't even know what to say. For me, it's just very overwhelming”. Interestingly, the youngest CEO in English football also denied her relationship with the club's owner, John Radford to get this position: “This has been a genuine appointment. I have worked hard to get where I am”. And asked whether she was in a relationship with Radford, she asserted: “I don't feel it's appropriate, at this stage, to comment.”
