FAUSTINA ASPRILLA IS THREATENED WITH DEATH.

The former Colombian striker Faustina Asprilla who played in the 1990 and 1994 world cup . He also played for Newcastle United from 1996 to 1998. He scored fifty four goals for Newcastle United during this time. He also scored twelve goals in the Champion League as well. The best being a hat trick in just twenty two minutes against Barcelona in the year 1997. But now sadly he has been threatened with death by masked gangsters, who told him very clearly that he would have to pay money as extortion money, and if he failed to pay it up soon, he would hear from their chief very soon. So Faustina Asprilla has now left his hometown of Tulla along with his family. He said he left his home for the protection of his family. A very sad thing to happen to a player who is no longer playing football.
