Eto'o's lesson in humility: Never forget your beginnings

Many different things can be said about Samuel Eto'o, the president of the Cameroonian Football Federation (Fecafoot) and the absolute legend of African football. His recent (re)actions, lack of support for the national team's boss, quarrels with the players, etc., undoubtedly ruined his reputation to some extent. However, these days, the 43-year-old has taught everyone a lesson in humility.

During his time at Barca, Eto'o spent €4.75m on just one thing

Namely, while attending a seminar in Douala, Cameroon, Eto'o spotted a security guard who happened to be his former teammate from his early days. Although their paths had separated long ago, he remembered the man, greeting him with a hug and a warm conversation.

Moreover, Eto'o spoke to everyone around him, referring to the man as his colleague with whom he played. According to sources from the spot, he even told his assistant to book an appointment so he could meet his former teammate later. Class act, Samuel! Hats off!
