Former NBA trio Julius Erving, Allen Iverson and Dikembe Mutombo and NFL legend Ray Lewis are set to follow the likes of Ryan Reynolds and JJ Watt in sports ownership.
Erving, Iverson, Mutombo and Lewis enjoyed remarkable careers in their respected sports, but are now out for success in something new - rugby union. According to The Times, the sporting stars have formed an American consortium in a bid to take over Premiership side London Irish.
The London-based side are the latest Premiership club whose future within the sport remains unknown, following the financial issues of Wasps and the Worcester Warriors.
