Lazio youth team player Joseph Minala has been forced to defend himself after question marks were raised over the 17-year-old’s age.
In fairness to his critics, the Cameroonian is possibly the oldest looking teenager on the planet but his agent has slammed the ‘unfair allegations’.
‘He had a difficult time growing up. If you talk to him you’ll realise he is in every way a 17-year-old lad,’ Diego Tavano told La Gazzetta dello Sport.
Poor guy, I'm pretty sure whatever the reasons are for his aged appearance it wasn't his fault. Unlike people such as Jason Donavan (who I love to bits) who look 20 years older due to drink and drugs.

I think you're the one on drugs! Maybe, just maybe he's lying.

I assume that comment was meant as a joke? I bit uncalled for.
It reminds me of Greg Oden, must be really frustrating with people questioning their age - even though you have heard of sportmen and women lying about it

Yeh - in dog years.
