Newcastle United fan Tony Calvert is set to name Jermain Defoe – who plays for arch rivals Sunderland – in divorce papers.

Heartbroken Tony, 26, is to allege that his wife Rachel Segalofsky, 24, committed adultery with the ­ex-England star.

Today in a Sunday People interview the dock worker claims he was twice dumped for Defoe, 33.

Tony, who said he is stunned by Defoe’s behaviour, said: “He has broken up a marriage and a family, twice.

“They’ve dragged me through the mud and I feel like I’ve been used. I’ve been a fool but I won’t be fooled again.”

The couple are now ­preparing to divorce. Tony, of South Shields confirmed his marriage was over and he intends to name Defoe in the divorce.

He said: “That’s what I’ve asked my solicitor to do. It’s what ­happened. She left me for him. I’ve got nothing left to lose.

“I am divorcing her on the grounds of adultery and he’s the other guy. My main concern is our daughter so I’d better not say too much at this stage.”

The couple first split in January and Tony moved back to his mum’s house.

Yet he was keen to patch things up so the couple met on neutral ­territory, an Asda car park, on Valentine’s Day. Tony said he had even bought Rachel a rose.

But as they chatted in his car Tony said she dropped the bombshell and confessed she was seeing Defoe and wanted a divorce.

However he claims they rekindled the relationship for the sake of their three-year-old daughter. But six weeks later he said she left him for a second time and went back to £70,000-a-week Defoe.

That week Rachel was ­spotted taking out the bins in her slippers at Defoe’s £2million mansion in upmarket Ponteland, Northumberland .

Tony said: “I wanted to give it a second chance. She was still my wife, the mother of my daughter and I did love her. She’d made a mistake, a lot of people do that.

“But now she has made the same mistake twice. In the long run I’m convinced it will be her who will be left heartbroken.

“I don’t know if she has been ­blinded by his wealth or maybe she does believe they are in love. But look at his track record.

“Rachel says they love each other and I’ve heard they’ve been on days out playing happy families. Maybe there is a one per cent chance that she’s the girl who turns him round?”

Tony and Rachel had a big white wedding in November 2013, two years after they met at a motorbike rally.

Defoe, who has played for numerous clubs including West Ham, Portsmouth and Tottenham, scored 19 times in his 55 England appearances.

But he was left out of new England boss Sam Allardyce’s squad for today’s World Cup qualifier in Slovakia.
