While many retired footballers become coaches and businessmen or use their popularity to gain sponsorship, these players took the unconventional root of becoming clergymen.
1. Taribo West
The Super Eagles legend who no longer wears his trademark hairstyle once narrated how he was involved in occultism during his hey days as a footballer before his encounter with a female pastor, Patience Ikemefuna.
West is now a pastor and founder of Shelter in The Storm Miracle Ministries of All Nations.
2. Peter Knowles
The Wolverhampton Wanderers player gave up the game to become a Jehovah’s Witness in 1969. He was so good that Wolves held on to his registration until the early 80s.
