He had a heart attack at his apartment in Spain this morning. “On behalf of the family, this has come as a huge shock to everybody. We are all very upset. He was a legendary footballer but he was also an extremely nice person.” Nobody in the history of football has been defined by their price tag in the way Trevor Francis was. Born in Plymouth, Francis joined Birmingham as a schoolboy and was the Blues’ then-youngest debutant in 1970 aged 16, a record only beaten by current England and Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham in August 2019. He went on to score 119 goals in 280 league appearances before his history-making switch to Nottingham Forest.

After Forest’s two European Cup wins, he joined Manchester City before having spells with Italian clubs Sampdoria and Atalanta. A season in Scotland with Rangers followed before he joined QPR, where he also became player-manager. He later performed a similar role at Sheffield Wednesday and helped lead them to both the FA Cup and League Cup finals in 1993, losing both to Arsenal. Francis retired as a player in 1994, shortly before his 40th birthday, having made 632 appearances and scored 235 goals. He then returned to Birmingham as manager between 1996 and 2001 and guided the Blues to the 2001 League Cup final where they lost to Liverpool on penalties. After leaving St Andrew’s, his final managerial post was at Crystal Palace where he spent two years. He also worked as a media pundit with Sky Sports and BT Sport.

“They pay me only N1k after making millions”

A Nollywood actor has shared the poor amount he gets paid for a scene as he exposed the ordeal he faced with Nollywood. The actor, who lives in a dilapidated zinc house with holes all around it, shared his story with interviewer @skibocomedy7. Despite being promised payment for his work, he said he often received only a fraction of what he was owed. “You will be called for a job of N10k, but when you are done you will be given N1k and told that the remaining will be paid into your account but you will see nothing. That was why I gave up on doing such jobs,” he said. The actor also spoke about the poor working conditions he faced on set. “You will do a standard that will be uploaded on YouTube for someone, this person will still get millions when the job is uploaded on YouTube but he will not even pay for your feeding. I will still buy food with the money I borrowed to go for the job,” he said. The poor actor is seeking help from anyone who wishes to change his situation. @AMARACHUKWU said: “This is exactly what is happening in Nollywood, I use to be a makeup artist omo na run I run oo.” @Chinemere Onuwa said: “This Man need shelter- 2 rooms fundraising project would be amazing. Una still need to create social media for him and let’s start.” Watch the video below:

PSG accepts world record £259m bid for Mbappe from Al-Hilal

Ligue 1 giant, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) have accepted a world record bid of €300m (£259m) from Al-Hilal for Kylian Mbappe. Mbappe who has not been allowed to wind down his contract which would expire in one year, has been put up for sale by PSG and left out of the pre-season tour of Japan. This is coming after the France national team captain told the club that he will not be signing a new contract or agreeing to their one-year contract extension option.

Source: Getty PSG had also previously told the player that he must either accept a new contract with a 10-year offer from the French club worth €1 billion (£864m/$1.1bn) on the table or be sold in this window. Al-Hilal has now been granted permission by PSG to speak to Mbappe after offering a whopping €300 million (circa $332.4 million) to sign him. PSG’s decision to accept the bid was likely to avoid losing Mbappe for free next year. Al-Hilal has already made notable signings, including Kalidou Koulibaly and Rúben Neves from English Premier League clubs. Al-Hilal playing in the Saudi league. Source: Getty If completed, the deal will surpass Neymar’s €200 million transfer from Barcelona to PSG as the most expensive in football history. The Saudi club’s offer would reportedly see Mbappe earn an astonishing €700 million annually. Mbappe who moved to PSG from Monaco in 2017 for €180 million, has maintained his status as one of the world’s top players. He rose to prominence with Monaco in 2015, helping the team win the Ligue 1 championship and earning recognition as the league’s best young player. With PSG, he secured four national titles and played a crucial role in France’s 2018 FIFA World Cup victory. At the moment, Mbappe who is PSG’s all-time top scorer with 212 goals in 260 appearances, remains the second most expensive player in history behind his PSG teammate Neymar.

Bambam further revealed that she participated in the BBNaija reality show because of her acting career and according to her, she was tired of going to movie auditions without getting on the cast, so she decided to take advantage of the publicity of the Big Brother platform to boost her career.

Bam Bam (Image source: BamBam’s Instagram page) She disclosed this in a recent interview with TVC. BamBam said: “I have always wanted to be in filmmaking, so I made the decision to audition for Big Brother [Naija] so I would be seen. Because after I graduated from film school, the hustle was real. I remember myself and my colleagues going to auditions, and it was just a waste of time, strength, and money. “Sometimes, we do waka pass [minor roles], they [producers] go give you N5k. And I left Abuja [to Lagos to pursue my movie career]. I was actually comfortable in Abuja, where I was. I had a 9-to-5 job. I had a car, a dog, and a cat.” She said that after she came out of the Big Brother show, her career skyrocketed. NigezieXtreme reports that BamBam found love in the Big Brother house and both got married in 2019.

The couple welcomed their first child, Zendaya, in 2020, and their second child, Maya, in March 2022. In related news, BamBam was featured on Punch Saturday Beats recently and she spoke on how she feels about cyber bullies and their opinions, stating that she only cares about her husband’s opinions and not what cyber trolls say. According to her, everyone is entitled to hold and make whatever opinion they wish; however, those that matter most to her are those of Teddy A, her husband. She said: “I do not care about trolls (cyber bullies), because it is important that the world knows that everyone is entitled to their opinions. It will only matter if the troll is from my mother and my father. Even at that, what matters the most is what I feel about myself. My husband is the only one who can hurt me with his words because I love him so much. His opinion matters the most to me. I do not live for trolls unless I want to be suicidal.”
