15 Footballers With Bizarre Side Jobs

The ex-Chelsea man and one-time Match of the Day regular Gavin Peacock decided to leave his role with the BBC in 2008 to be closer to God. He packed up and moved himself and his family to Canada to undertake a three-year Masters course in divinity, since becoming pastor of Calvary Grace Church, Calgary. On their personal website he is described as one of the church’s ‘Elders’, and can regularly be seen dispensing titbits of Christian wisdom on Twitter.

Unfortunately for those envisaging a kind of Ned Flanders-style benignity to Gavin Peacock’s religious metamorphosis, then think again. Because if these tweets are anything to go by, he’s not the most tolerant person out there.
