A former Northern Ireland and Manchester United star left football to become a Roman Catholic priest after getting bored with the perks that came with the game.
Belfast native Phil Mulryne, 44, was once one of the budding starlets to come out of United's academy, but he swapped his boots for the Bible when he became disillusioned with the lifestyle of a professional footballer.
The ex-midfielder earned £600,000-a year at the height of his career, but instead of endearing him to the sport, the handsome sum and all its trappings made the former Northern Ireland international miserable, and the emptiness that engulfed him led him to the Lord's house.
