Although the Ballon d'Or eluded him during his playing time, the Cameroon legend feels he is the best African player ever
Former Barcelona and Inter Milan striker Samuel Eto’o has insisted he is the best African player in history.
The 38-year-old had an illustrious career where he won 18 major trophies, including two Champions Leagues and two Africa Cup of Nations titles as well as an Olympic gold medal.
Eto’o was named the African Player of the Year four times but failed to win the Ballon d'Or, with his best placing being in the 2005 edition where he finished third.
