George Weah’s son has signed a contract with European giants

 For football-daft kids in the 1990s, Italian football was the coolest thing around.

Channel 4's Football Italia gave us a window into life in Serie A, inspiring many of us to be mini Batistutas and Baggios as we chased scuffed footballs around our playgrounds at break time. If you remember the time well, you'll also remember how AC Milan were one of the greatest sides on the planet - still a long way from employing a bunch of actors to perform cringe-worthy moisturiser-promoting pre-match hakas. You'll also remember that their striker, George Weah, was one of the most feared in world football. The Liberian spearheaded Milan's attack for the best part of five years before underwhelming spells in the Premier League with Chelsea and Manchester City. Now 49, Weah's son has just signed a contract with Paris Saint-Germain. Following in the footsteps of his old man (who represented PSG before moving to Italy) Timothy Weah has impressed the French champions enough while representing their Under-17 side to earn himself a contract. Weah Jnr's deal will see him stay with the French champions until 2018. George was pretty chuffed about it all too, expressing his delight on PSG's website. "I am very proud and very happy to see my son grow into this great club that is Paris Saint-Germain," Weah said. "I played here too of course, for me it is a great pride."
