Rod Stewart's fondness for soccer has landed him in court after a woman sued him in Detroit, claiming he got his kicks at her expense.

Candace Conroy filed a $75,000 lawsuit Wednesday, alleging the rock star injured her when he kicked a soccer ball into the audience at a March 1996 concert in suburban Auburn Hills.Conroy claims she suffered unspecified head, neck, face and mouth injuries. Her husband, James, also is a plaintiff and is seeking damages for loss of companionship.
