New York Red Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Are there any footballers who are notoriously religious Christians? Like real bible-thumpers? Peter Knowles from decades back was the best example of that; he actually packed in his career. I think Carlos Roa did also.
Coyler Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Kaká is into all that to the max, isn't he? El-Zhar always blesses himself when he's coming on the pitch as well.
Red Kent Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 Not the players but the son of God was often found at our matches last season, many times I heard fans say "Jesus Christ what's he doing there".
stressederic Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 I think Jermaine Defoe is. I remember seeing him interviewed about it on Football Focus.

dorgie Posted May 14, 2010 Posted May 14, 2010 (edited) Glenn Hoddle. Wasn't there a guy who used to refuse to play on Sunday (or was it Saturday? ) because it was the holy day of his religion ? Edit : just googled that and it was actually the Scottish rugby player Euan Murray ( http://anotherking.com/2009/12/16/rugby-star-refuses-to-play-on-sabbath/ ) Edited May 14, 2010 by dorgie

He doesn't cross himself but opens his palms towards his face and says a prayer. "Oh Allah thank you for saving me from splinters I'd have sustained had I sat any longer on the bench."

cymrococh Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 Most of the Brazilians are Pentecostal evangelists aren't they? "I Belong to Jesus" and all that. Basically there's absolutely loads.
Nerik Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 Legrottaglie of Juventus is a very religious guy and is always talking about the importance of religion in his life.
allawee Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 Didn't Carlos Roa decide to quit just before the year 2000 when he was 29 years old to prepare for the apocalypse? He was devout Seventh-day Adventis (is that Christian?) And I am sure that Kezman, the former Chelsea player quit to become a Monk
Benzo-13 Posted May 15, 2010 Posted May 15, 2010 Kezman's still playing though a bit mediocre at PSG.

The French, Dutch, Germans etc are no more religious then we are on the whole.
