Tino was a bit of a thoroughbred himself

Colombian football hero Faustino Asprilla has been in the news again after the very public search for a horse reportedly worth more than €60,000.

Lucas, the equine beast in question, had been lent to a friend of Asprilla’s who subsequently had a few too many at a local horse fair in April and gave the horse away.

The former Newcastle and Parma forward posted a reward of five million pesos, around €1,500, for the horse’s safe return, and thankfully Lucas turned up in a stable in the town of Florida and has been reunited with its owner.
