Former Liberian international (and cousin to George Weah) Christopher Wreh had the privilege to play for a multitude of clubs all over the world, including spells at Monaco, AEK Athens & Birmingham City. However the crowning glory of his footballing career was unquestionably his part in Arsenal's 1998 Double winning side.
Whilst this may have been the height of his athletic output, it could well be that his creative peak is yet to fully emerge: Wreh announced his retirement from professional football in 2005 to dedicate more time to touring the world with his band the Soul Rebels
He later reconsidered his decision and reemerged playing for (the mighty) Perseman Manokwari in Indonesia.
Despite his return to the field Wreh, speaking on his rarely updated (but consistently entertaining) official blog, promises that the world has not heard the last of his musical abilities.
There is one question left to consider though: If Christopher Wreh is George Weah's cousin, does that mean he's related to Ali Dia?
The answer is of course no. Unless your name is Graeme Souness.
