Another England footballer has won an injunction banning the reporting of allegations about his private life. He became the third England player in recent weeks to be granted such an order. None of the footballers can be named under the terms of the injunctions. The gagging order was granted yesterdayby on-duty high court judge Mr Justice Kenneth Parker. Concern has mounted about the use of injunctions to prevent potentially embarrassing revelations. An injunction awarded to Chelsea captain John Terry preventing the reporting of an alleged affair was repealed earlier this year.
