There’s more than one way to secure your place in a football team. Sure, you can justify your position by playing well and training hard – but it’s far easier if your dad can just pay your way in. That’s exactly what happened with a 22-year-old student who was signed by a football side because his dad gave them a load of cash. FK Usti play their football in the Czech third tier, and they welcomed the unusual signing of law student Martin Podhajsky earlier this summer. He’s never even played football before, but despite that he’s even been named as captain. As The Sun reports, he’s set to play 10 minutes for the side after his dad paid the equivalent of £17,500 for the experience. President of FK Usti nad Labem Premysl Kuban told the publication: "He has never played football. Only FIFA from what I know. However you don’t just see 500k czech crowns rolling on the floor every day. If someone gives me this type of money, I’ll let anyone play. "He said himself that he would like to play, then his dad called and things started to move. Martin is a law student and an employee of Viagem. "We are now adjusting the contract with Martin, and the fans will see him already at our first home game, so far only on the substitutes’ bench." How would you feel if Podhajsky signed for your club? Somehow, we can’t imagine that many people would be impressed. Sign up for our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.

Scientists are optimistic about the possibility of finding life on other planets. Nasa's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) found a possible sign of a gas that, on Earth, is produced by simple marine organisms. It was detected this month in the atmosphere of a planet named K2-18b, which is 120 light years away. The planet is in what astronomers call ''the Goldilocks zone' - the right distance away from its star for the surface temperature to be neither too hot nor too cold, but just right for there to be liquid water, which is essential to support life. The team expects to know in a year's time whether the hints are confirmed or have gone away. "We live in an infinite Universe, with infinite stars and planets. And it's been obvious to many of us that we can't be the only intelligent life out there," Prof Catherine Heymans, Scotland's Astronomer Royal told the BBC. "We now have the technology and the capability to answer the question of whether we are alone in the cosmos." Prof Nikku Madhusudhan of the Institute of Astronomy at Cambridge University, who led the study, told the BBC that if the hints are confirmed "it would radically change the way we think about the search for life". "If we find signs of life on the very first planet we study, it will raise the possibility that life is common in the Universe." He predicted that within five years there will be "a major transformation" in our understanding of life in the Universe. If his team don't find life signs on K2-18b, they have 10 more Goldilocks planets on their list to study - and possibly many more after that. Even finding nothing would "provide important insights into the possibility of life on such planets", he said. Meanwhile there are other separate projects all looking for signs of life in the universe. Pretty exciting. Sign up to our free Indy100 weekly newsletter Have your say in our news democracy.
