Jesus of Manchester

Jesus scored a stoppage-time winner as Manchester City snatched a 2-1 victory over Swansea City

His full name of Gabriel Jesus is a double whammy of religious branding.

When parents name their kids after religious figures, especially the heavy hitters like Jesus or Muhammad, then they're not even pretending.

I have a friend named Christian. Has anyone been named Jew or Muslim? Cat Stevens changed his name to Yusef Islam.

Hah! Auto correct changed his first name to Catholic.
