Record Breaker Samuel Eto’o Crowned African Footballer Of The Year

By Chris Wright

Inter Milan’s Cameroonian striker Samuel Eto’o has been crowned African Footballer of the Year for a record fourth time at the Glo-CAF’s bash in Cairo last night.

Eto’o, who beat Ivorian Didier Drogba (Chelsea) and Ghanaian Asamoah Gyan (Sunderland) into second and third place respectively, is now the only player to have been bestowed with the bauble on four separate occasions.

I think we can safely assume that it is his domestic season that has been recognised, rather than Cameroon’s World Cup campaign.

    Am I the only person who thinks Gyan is highly average? Nowhere near the best African player in my opinion.

    Couldn’t disagree with you more Jon. Gyan guided Ghana into the quarterfinals of the World Cup but y’know the rest…

  3. QMario says:

    That rather large Nigerian keeper should get it after his performance against Argentina, Then Drog and third Gyan
