AC Milan have given a contract to Paolo Maldini's 9 year old son Christian.

Assuming he makes it and plays for the first team, would this be the first time that 3 generations (Paolo's father was captain of Milan) have played for the same club?

Rooney To Take On The Sun
Wayne Rooney's libel case against The Sun will begin just weeks before next summer's World Cup.

The proceedings, which stem from The Sun's allegation that Rooney slapped his fiancÃÃâ€*’©e, Coleen McLoughlin, in a nightclub, are bound to disrupt both the newspaper and playerââ‚Ã⠀šÃ‚¬ÃƒÂ¢Ã¢â‚¬Å¾Ã‚¢s preparations for the finals in Germany, says the media guardian.

'The trial is due to begin just five weeks before the World Cup kicks off in Germany on June 9, engaging the tabloid in a bitter court battle at the same time it is due to be championing Rooney and his England team-mates in its pages,' the website adds.

Probably a load of rubbish. Guy I work with is friends with Gillespie - he and his family went through hell when he was falsely accused.

Agreed, and if he is innocent, which I have no doubt that he is, he might think "I have had enough" and go back home, It is possible a transfer request could be on the horizon, which would be a concern for Man Utd.

I just hope it doesn't come to that.

I'm not going to make any Comments about the Ronaldo case untill it's legally sorted out one way of the other.
