Night before Russia game, and England star Ashley Young's flashing tackle on web
By Douglas Wight
UP-AND-COMING England striker Ashley Young had his hands full just hours before England's big game against Russia— stripped naked pleasuring himself on the internet.
It was the £9.8million star's debut for his country. But randy Young was limbering up with sleazy free kicks—putting on an outrageous webcam sex show for a girl he'd just met online. 
And our snapshots of him in action reveal he's got plenty to show—even in widescreen.
The scandal comes just a week after we told how other England stars prepared for their crucial game against Croatia with a drunken party in a lap-dancing club.
It was 1.30am Moscow time October 17 when Young logged on in his room at the team's hotel and hooked up with beauty therapist Sarah Taylor on the Webcamo dating site.
Teasing
Within minutes he was bombarding her with instant text messages describing the sordid things he longed to do to her.
As he groped himself 22-year-old Aston Villa star Young said: "I'd love to lick ur ****** making them nice and ****...yeh babe, teasing ur ****."
Ignoring all the rules on handling, he went to huge lengths to show himself off and feverishly bashed out saucy demands like: "I wanna have my **** between ur **** and u ****ing the top of my ****."
Pretty Sarah, 21, told us: "I was shocked. I'd gone on for some flirty chat but what I got was a randy sex addict."
Sarah was at home in Bristol —where it was 10.30pm—when she first encountered Young.
"This guy messaged me and said he was in Moscow on business," she said.
Young—who lives with a long-term girlfriend in his home town of Stevenage, Herts—called himself Lewis, the name of his childhood chum, racing driver Lewis Hamilton.
Sarah said: "At first he seemed so charming and nice." But Young then stripped naked and paraded his manhood on camera. She added: "I couldn't believe someone was being so forward. He's got an impressive package but I was amazed he could just show it off like that."
Although the pair exchanged screen texts Ashley was left frustrated because Sarah's webcam wasn't on and she wasn't going to play ball.
She told us: "He was obviously keen to take the encounter to a conclusion and was upset that I held back." 
Later that day Young was a sub as England crashed 2-1 to Russia, leaving them needing a miracle to qualify for Euro 2008. That never came.
But he went through his lewd pre-match routine AGAIN before Villa's clash with Middlesbrough last Saturday.
Sarah visited the website again late Friday night. She revealed: "He contacted me again. He said he was in Middlesbrough on business and in a hotel. I thought that strange for a Friday night.
"He quickly got very sexual again and gave me his mobile number, begging me to ring him. He wrote, ‘Send me a dirty text so I know you're for real?'
"I called him just to see what he was like. He continued his dirty chat but soon wanted to go back to his computer."
Sarah then sat stunned as she watched one of England's brighest sporting talents furiously perform another solo sex act.
Sarah said: "He was going hard at it. After reaching a climax he signed off about 1.30am. I couldn't believe what I'd seen."
Tricks
Because of the "Friday night away on business" line Sarah was convinced her web perv was a footballer. Trawling the net, she soon discovered his real identity. She said: "I looked up Middlesbrough, found they were playing Aston Villa, and instantly recognised him on their website."
And Young was still up to his sordid tricks on Tuesday when a News of the World investigator visited the website.
Within two minutes he contacted our girl, stripped and showed off his manhood. For two hours he pestered her with messages like: "I want you to stand up and show me your t**s, nipples and bum."
Although our girl refused to join in and help him achieve his goal, Young went on to score the next night—in Villa's 4-0 defeat of Blackburn.
It obviously takes a lot to put him off his stroke.
