Eto'o.

Samuel Eto'o has won it for the last 3 years, this is his 4th year running. I personally think Eto'o should win it. Coz I really hate the Club the others two hail from. Plus, Eto'o has had the honour of 'performing' to win the UEFA Champion's League. Currently, Drogba and Essien are in top form, but that might change in a few weeks, as Eto'o returns to fitness.

Mate, hard to choose but whoever wins it deserves it nonetheless.

Poll please?

As much as I hate Barca + like Essien and Drogba, I think Eto'o deserves this one. He won the UCL + his absence @ Barca can't be ignored.

 

[Passion for *9*]

If they decide along European voting patterns + put emphasis on performance on the WORLD stage, Eto'o would be shit out of luck. It's hard. CL winning Eto'o + Essien have been more consistent + deserve it a little more than Drogba who's only been kicking ass since August + had a rather disappointing WC.

So yea... Eto'o.

I think Essien deserves it, Eto'o has been out for half of the season + didn't even play at the World Cup. While Drogba had a rather disappointing World Cup, but is great since the begining of the season. Essien has been great the whole year & at the World Cup, So I say Essien deserves it.

1- Essien.
2- Drogba.
3- Eto'o.

Milla Voted Best African Player In The Last 50 Years

Cameroon legend, Roger Milla, has been named as Africa’s best player in the last 50 years after a poll by followers of African football through the Caf website.

Milla polled a total of 2246 points to beat his closest challenger Mahmoud El-Khatib of Egypt, who secured 2165 points.

Milla won the African Footballer of the Year Award in 1976 and regained it in 1990, after he led Cameroon to the quarter-finals of the 1990 World Cup at the age of 38.

He became the oldest player to score a goal in the World Cup in 1994 when the Indomitable Lions lost 1-6 to Russia.

The Confederation of African Football also is planning several other events to mark its fiftieth anniversary celebrations next month.

Part of the celebration will see a youth tournament involving Caf's four founder members - Egypt, Ethiopia, South Africa and Sudan.
