Carlos Roa
Picture 13 of 16
Argentine retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper. At the age of 30, Roa retired from football in order to take a religious retreat. After a year of charitable and religious work spent as a member of the Seventh-day Adventist Church, his convictions led to his refusal to discuss a new contract with his team, because he believed the world was going to end in the near future. He eventually went back to work when it didn't. Fun Fact: Teammates called him "Lechuga (Lettuce)" because of his strict vegetarian diet.

Still haven’t seen Tommy Morrison on here. He went SDA for a while. He was a late 1980s “great-white-hope” boxer who claimed to be a grandnephew of John Wayne and famously developed HIV. He later died of AIDS. The general public might remember him as “Tommy Gunn” in one of the later Rocky movies
What about Chris Brown? He was raised Adventist and sang in the choir at his church.
