Djibril Cisse was born on 12 August 1981 in France. He
followed Islam till the year 2007 and converted to Christianity. Cisse’s conversion to Christianity is believed to be under the influence of Jude Litter who was his wife at that point of time.
She was Cisse’s hairdresser and the couple were married at Bodelwyddan Castle, a ceremony which superstars like Steven Gerrard, David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane were invited. However, the couple divorced after 7 years of marriage in 2012.
Cisse played for several clubs during his career including the likes of Auxerre, Liverpool, Marseille, Sunderland, Panathinaikos, Lazio and Queens Park Rangers. Cisse unfortunately, broke both his legs during his career. The first of those leg breaks came in a Premier League game against Blackburn Rovers when he was playing for Liverpool and the second came when France was playing China in a warm-up match before the FIFA World Cup finals. Cisse retired in 2015 at the age of 34.
