Soccer, Acid, Ferraris, Playmates & the Mafia: Mario Puzo couldn’t make this up

If there is one thing I love equally as sports is mob movies. The Godfather 1 & 2, Goodfellas and Donnie Brasco are all cornerstones of the mob movie genre. However just as we learned from Maurice Clarett, sports and the mafia just don’t mix.

Bulgarian goaltender Nikolay Mihailov lost his Playmate model girlfriend to a notorious mob boss and quite frankly that must have hurt, but what would hurt even more is being attacked by that mob boss.

Mihailov was dating Nikoleta Lozanova but she dumped him for local godfather Georgi “The Head” Stoilov. Mihailov found a new lady friend (also a Bulgarian Playmate amazingly enough) that he stupidly compared to his old girlfriend. Talk about making a huge mistake.

Mihailov allegedly joked to local media that if his new girlfriend was a Ferrari, Nikoleta must be a broken down Trabant from the old East Germany.

The next day, Mihailov woke to find that his Ferrari had suffered £17,000 worth of damage following an acid attack that had destroyed the car’s paintwork.

At first I thought this article was completely made up. Two women in Bulgaria who could pose for Playboy? Have they relaxed the mustache restrictions? Then I saw one of the women.

I’m betting it’s all a coincidence. (At least neither Mihailov or the new girlfriend were attached with acid.) Mihailov, is also the son of Bulgaria’s greatest soccer “legend”, is now in hiding, presumably to avoid ending up like Jimmy Hoffa.

Acid is like a woman, a good one will eat through your pants. Zing!
