Eto'o wins African Footballer of the Year

Samuel Eto'o was a Cameroonian football phenom when at 17yrs 3mos he became the youngest player ever to appear in the World Cup finals (France '98). He’s now a worthy winner, two years running, of the African Footballer of the Year award.

Eto’o is a member of in form FC Barcelona and will be facing Chelsea in the Champions League this month.

At the age of 23 Samuel Eto’o has made quite a name for himself in Europe as a striker scoring blistering goals and demonstrating an amazingly direct touch with pace. He reminds me a lot of George Weah with his mix of balance, pace and strength.
