It tore one club apart and left the footy world reeling when Wayne Carey was caught having an affair with the wife of his North Melbourne premiership teammate Anthony Stevens.
“He (Carey) has never actually gone out of his way to say sorry — for whatever reason,” Stevens told Mike Sheahan in an episode of Open Mike on Fox Footy.
“I had known for a while, but until you can actually catch the individuals, it is pretty big speculation to query someone about that,” he said.
“In the end, I was the one that actually caught the two of them that night.”
Stevens has never before spoken publicly about the scandal, and Fox Sports reports that in the interview Stevens also said:
HE never wants anything to do with Carey, but has a cordial relationship with his ex-wife for the sake of their two kids.
HE is still concerned when he sees people stroking Carey’s ego because it may allow his former teammate to believe he is “invincible” again.
THE culpability for the affair was solely with Carey and Kelli, saying he felt sorry for Carey’s then-wife Sally.
THE media storm that erupted after the news broke meant he and Kelli never had the chance to work on repairing their marriage, though they tried unsuccessfully for a time.
HE had never read Carey’s tell-all book, The Truth Hurts, because he believed there was a “fair bit of exaggeration in it”.
GLENN Archer showed the true meaning of loyalty by barely leaving his side for almost a month after the incident to ensure he was fine.
Carey reportedly never apologised for the affair, and Sheahan asked Stevens whether he would accept one now.
“No, probably not. I’m still hurt from it, but I have moved on now,” Stevens said.
