The story of the goalkeeper who refused Unitede because of fear of the apocalypse has returned, overcame cancer, and played soccer

There are many reasons why a professional footballer can end his career. Hurts, old age, and a desire to spend more time with the family are some of the motives.

Only one is that he decided this because his apocalypse was near.

Argentina and Mallorca's ex-porter Carlos Roa had an interesting career, while he believed that the world would end when we enter the new millennium.

From the start, Roa showed a great shape with Racing Club, and then she passed by Lanus.

He crossed to La League as he shone his first peak career season on the Argentina National Fantel.

He is known for hosting David Batty and the goal he accepted from Dennis Bergkamp. After the World Championship, Manchester United has been watching and willing to pay $10 million to make Peter Schmeticl's heir in Old Tuffford.

But he disobeyed. Roa was convinced that the new millennium would announce the end of the world, and he left football in 1999.

He took everything he needs and donated all his assets, going to Villa de Soto, a small village in the mountains of Cordoba, where he lived in solitary confinement with his family, awaiting the apocalypse.

I never wanted to be a football player and I don't miss football at all. I'm happy without football “, he said in a recent interview, after six months of research by journalists.

The Apocalypse did not happen and he agreed to come back to play in Mallorca, but provided he would not work on Saturday.

Not surprisingly, Roa failed to return to his previous level in Spain. He then went to the Albacts where he helped them get back to La League.

In 2004 his world was shocked by a diagnosis of testicle cancer, forcing him to retire once more.

He demonstrated a determination to the disease and managed to defeat it and turn into football. Roa signed with Olympia in her homeland to retire in 2006.

He told his story in a 1999 interview.

I was a bad Christian. I need to have faith, take the Bible and believe that God will guide me “, was Roa's words in June 1999, when he left football and waited for the end.

But fate had other plans for the doorman and the sport welcomed him with open arms, while he defeated cancer and apocalypse to continue his extraordinary story. /Telegraphy/
