Fancy Dress Xmas Bash

Fancy Dress Xmas Bash

Manchester City prove they're a top outfit by wearing fancy dress at their Christmas party.

The £40,000 bash came after the Premier League leaders' first top flight defeat of the season at Chelsea on Monday night. And the millionaire stars were determined to banish the Blues.
They teamed up at posh West End club Anaya — where the finest champagne and vodka was provided. The women-only guest list included glamour models and girls from X-rated TV channel Babestation. City's party line-up included Gareth Barry, 30, as Where's Wally, Sergio Aguero, 23, as Harry Potter and Nigel de Jong, 26, as the A-Team's B.A. Baracus.

David Silva, 25, donned an Avatar-style mask while Adam Johnson, 24, wore a hippy costume.

Striker Mario Balotelli, 21, was dressed as a cowboy, Pablo Zabaleta, 26, played a pirate and goalie Joe Hart, 24, was in full American football gear.

A source said: "It was one hell of a party. Some girls were throwing themselves at the footballers.

"Some of them said they had been shipped in from Holland to party with the players. The lads had been subdued after the Chelsea defeat but the girls' arrival really perked them up."

The bash eventually broke up at 5.30am — but some players continued to party at their hotel.
