Jérémy Doku / Manchester City

THROWBACK: Jérémy Doku was baptised following Manchester City’s 3–0 victory over Manchester United. 🙌💙

After providing two assists in the derby, Doku revealed that his biggest victory would come after the final whistle.
“As a Christian, when you get baptised, your old sinful nature dies, and you start living with God. You resurrect with God, with Jesus Christ.”
More than football. A public declaration of faith in Jesus.

Jérémy Doku is the latest baller to bring his jewellery to the pitch at the World Cup.

The Belgium winger has been rocking a cross piece before games and in training throughout the tournament, with Rudi Garcia’s side now into the quarter-finals.

Doku has spoken openly about his journey with faith across his YouTube channel and other platforms, with Belgium teammate Dodi Lukebakio – who is also at the World Cup – a key influence in the 24-year-old finding Christianity.

It’s yet another example of players using jewellery as an avenue to express their identities, and long may it continue.
