Dated: The four ages of Mbemba

[Karl]

CNN) -- Everyone has a birthday. A joyful day for receiving presents from family and friends, for blowing out candles on a cake as you celebrate your arrival on this earth.

Some people even have two, such as Britain's Queen Elizabeth II -- one to mark the date of her birth, and one to celebrate the anniversary of her coronation.

But soccer player Chancel Mbemba Mangulu can top that. He appears to have four "birthdays" -- and it has caused him a lot of problems. So much so that football's world governing body FIFA has now started an investigation.

Does he have a birth certificate? I hate to say it but it would appear that some African sides are involved in less than above-board dealings.

In the 1999 FIFA U-17 World Championship Nigeria beat Japan 9–0. Following the game, Japan's French manager Philippe Troussier quipped that he saw one of Nigeria's U-17 players enter a taxi "with his wife and two children", implying that Nigeria had fielded over-age players.
