Benni McCarthy married Maria in 2004 but split in 2007 after he claimed she refused to relocate with him. He told Sunday Times: “We got divorced during my second year at Blackburn Rovers, in 2007. She did not really want to leave Spain and it became a problem.

He added: “Spanish people are not good travellers and they never want to leave Spain. Even the players leave for one season and they want to go back home.”
