5 Footballers You Never Knew Have Killed Someone Before

 Footballers play an active role in our live as role models, as both adults and kids look up to them. However, that doesn’t stop them from engaging in actions that are rather unpleasing, which leads us to the conclusion that they are humans after-all.
Today, We would be looking at five footballers that have actually killed someone before:

1. Patrick Kluivert:
Back when Kluivert was 19, the Ajax and Barcelona legend crashed his friend’s BMW M3 into Dutch theatre director’s car Martin Putnam resulting in the death of the 56-year-old. The Dutch attacker, unable to handle the hate left Ajax to join Milan.


2. Marcus Alonso
Marcus Alonso was arrested in 2011 for his involvement in a car crash in Spain’s capital Madrid. Alonso was driving at
122kilometer per hour in wet conditions in a 50kilometer per hour road when he collided with a wall, killing one of the

fellow passengers in the car,a 19-year-old woman. Originally facing 4 years in prison, Alonso had his sentence reduced to
21 months. Charges was later dropped completely as he paid 500,000 euros as damages to the victim’s family.



3. Alexandre Villaplane:
The Algerian-born Frenchman, who even captained the French side in the 1930 World Cup committed heinous war crimes and
directly killed more than 50 people during his life. Villaplane is mainly remembered for his extreme cruelty And brutality.

mother of his youngest child. In 2013, he was found guilty of ordering her murder, hiding the body and kidnapping his baby
 son, and was thus sentenced to a 22-year jail term. De Souza was released in February 2017, pending an appeal. What was
 even more despicable was the fact that Brazilian Seria B side, Boa Esporte, immediately handed him a professional
contract. However, In April 2017, Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered his re-arrest.

5. Diego Buonanotte:
One of Argentina’s promising talents, Buonanotte was Lionel Messi’s team-mate in the Argentine squad which won the gold
