There was a similar kerfuffle about a decade ago when the tabs exicitedly reported that a "Premiership Star" had taken out a gagging order to prevent his infidelity becoming public knowledge.The use of the word "ace" makes me think it's someone a bit less good. Tabloids never use that word to describe anyone halfway decent.
Turned out it was Garry Flitcroft.
