A retired semi-professional footballer is suing the Baptist church for £10m, claiming the 19 years he spent as a "fervent evangelist" ruined his chances of playing for Manchester United.Read the rest here.
According to the London Evening Standard, 46-year-old Arquimedes Nganga, who currently lives in Forest Hill, London, but used to play for a third division side in his native Portugal, quit the sport at the age of 25, two years after he converted to the Baptist faith. He believes he could have earned £20,000 a week, despite never making more than £200 a month playing semi-professionally.

I'm going to sue Facebook for ruining my sports career.
I bet Facebook has more money than the Baptists.
I'm going to sue my parents for ruining my sports career. What on earth was I supposed to do with THESE genes?
If I had a dollar for every failed decision I'd made in life, I'd be rich now (unless I'd invested it in the stock market)...
Uncle Rico?
