Wilson Palacios was born in Honduras, and has played football in England since 2007, when he joined Birmingham after a trial
Just months after his introduction to professional football in England, his younger brother Edwin was kidnapped from the family home
Five gunmen broke into the house, tied up Palacios' parents and took his 15-year-old brother
Palacios and his family paid a ransom to the kidnappers reported to have been approximately £330,000, but his brother was murdered regardless
That ordeal was followed by a second kidnapping, when his sister-in-law and two nephews were taken hostage for a week in 2012
