FORMER Premier League star Peter Ndlovu has told a court he cannot afford a maintenance demand for two kids — because he is already shelling out for 11 more.
The Zimbabwe striker, who spent six top-flight seasons with Coventry City, said: “I have 13 children, including these.”

THIS is the shocking moment a fan strolled around a stadium with a CHAINSAW during an African Champions League tie as riots erupted.
The incident occurred at half-time of the match between Esperance Sportive de Tunis and JS Kabylie.

After the first 45 minutes of play in the quarter-final second leg, trouble began that quickly spiralled out of control.
An ES Tunis fan managed to get his hands on a chainsaw, casually walking around the ground with the machinery switched on.
The man was seen holding it dangerously close to other supporters and attempting to cut something on the floor.
Meanwhile, others trashed the stadium by breaking fences and starting a huge fire.

eports suggest that ES Tunis hooligans managed to get their hands on a chainsaw, shovel, hammer and other equipment used in the trouble by breaking into the stadium maintenance room.

Security is normally tough at big games and lighters are banned, yet a fan sneaking one in has been blamed for the fire.

Police in Tunisia are searching for the yobs responsible.

On the pitch, ES Tunis defeated their Algerian opponents 2-1 on aggregate.

He also faces trial in July for allegedly attacking a second woman, which he denies.
Brown, top scorer with 14 goals, has been suspended by the club since being charged, but posed with the award at the League One side’s end of season bash.
In a statement released last month, the club said: “Jevani Brown appeared at Exeter Magistrates Court this morning in relation to an incident in February.
“He pleaded guilty to one charge of assault and not guilty to a second charge of assault.

“A trial date has now been set to hear the case at Exeter Crown Court on July 7.

“As the legal proceedings remain active there will be no further comment from Exeter City Football Club.”

One angry fan complained: “Is this a good message to send?”

“He’s admitted assaulting a woman and is about to stand trial on another similar charge.

“This goes way beyond club loyalty and I say that as a season ticket holder. Disgusting.”


Teresa Parker, of campaigners Women’s Aid, said: “His fellow players voting him their player of the season undermines the club’s actions.”
 
Because it's against the rules.

From a free kick the ball has to complete a full revolution before another player can touch it........I think ??????????

The Ref at the beginning is a bit like me ‘Dad dancing’!!

Always a cue for my daughter to find something to do!!

And she hopes OnlyFans can be a stepping stone to other ventures.
She added: "I want to start my own business and became an entrepreneur and step away from the stereotype and be looked at as a business woman.

"The main thing for me is to get into property, which is something I've always wanted to do since I was a footballer. I want to build an empire.
"For me, I think it is important for everyone to realise that you can start again.
"When my scandal happened I thought that was it and I didn't know how I was going to move past it.
"But, there's always a new day and always a fresh start. Everyone has a past, you can't change it.

"As long as you learn from your mistakes, make the right moves going forward, there is light at the end of the tunnel."
She hopes to move on from OnlyFans in the future

The incident took place in the town of Scholler in the province of Misiones, in Argentina last week.
The video shows players shoving the ref before he brandished the blade and stabbed a player in the chest.
Shocked spectators gasped after the player staggered and fell before other team members carried him off the pitch.
Meanwhile, the ref, wearing a black strip and a white cap, jogged away as the footage ended.

Local media later named the stabbed 21-year-old player only as Kevin A. who was rushed to hospital with a punctured lung.

Pictures then emerged of the player recuperating in a hospital bed.

The rogue ref was named as 62-year-old Remigio Armoa.

The player's uncle, who has not been named, told local media: "Kevin is miraculously alive.

"For the family, it is a very delicate moment because he is the Messi of the family.
"He is a boy well gifted for football, thank God he had the opportunity to be in a club like Chacarita."

The police later arrested Armoa and seized the knife used to attack the player.
The investigation is currently still ongoing.
