Hey, I do not know how to do it, so I can't, but could somebody put a picture of him playing for Milan, like this http://www.as.com/misc/fifaworld04/fotografia/weah.jpg I think he deserves it you know as one of the world's best players ever.

Is there any sources to state that he actually converted to Christianity from Islam, I mean both his parents had Christian names and he was given his at birth, it doesn't make much sense.—Preceding unsigned comment added by M2k41 ( talk • contribs) 04:13, 30 January 2006
I've checked up on this, apparantely he was born Christian, converted to Islam, and then converted back when his grandmother died.—Preceding unsigned comment added by M2k41 ( talk • contribs) 04:17, 30 January 2006
