George Weah became president of Liberia.
Hakan Sukur became involved in politics, he crisitised the president and was subsequently charged with being involved in an armed terror group. He left Turkey and is currently living in exile in the US, working as an Uber driver and selling books to make money.

A Turkish TV commentator was apparently fired at half time during a game just for mentioning his name.

Gaddafi‘s son turning out cameos in Italian football as a striker. That must have scared the shit out of people who played with him and against him, knowing him and his father could make you disappear forever if you fecked with them even slightly.

It’s even been reported that Libyan club football was fixed in his favour when he played there.
