Newcastle's January signing Papiss Demba Cisse has been a revelation for the club, scoring nine goals in his first eight matches. According to Opta Sports , his current rate of scoring a goal every 66 minutes he plays is the best in Premier League history. But who is this man who cost Newcastle a relatively meager £9 million? Here is all the information we assume to be true about him.
-He was conceived and immediately birthed after his parents scored a match winning goal with a rare male-female tandem bicycle kick in Dakar, Senegal on June 3 of 1986.
-As a child, he realized that the moon looks a lot like a football and decided that one day he would score a goal with it. Unfortunately, NASA has denied his many requests to build a goal large enough to accomplish this. As a result, he got their funding systematically reduced.
-At the age of 20, Cisse joined French side Metz. In four years with the club, he was loaned out twice because they were too afraid of his goal scoring ability.
