Eto'o retains Africa honour
Tuesday, 15 February 2005
FC Barcelona striker Samuel Eto'o has been named CAF African Player
of the Year for the second time running at a ceremony in Durban,
South Africa.
Top scorer in Spain
Eto'o, 23, picked up the award last year while playing for RCD Mallorca.
Since joining Barca last summer, the player has gone from strength to
strength and is currently the top scorer in Spain's Primera Division
with 17 goals.
Other candidates
Eto'o, who was previously also nominated in 2000 and 2001, collected
116 points in the voting, ahead of of Chelsea FC and Ivory Coast
striker Didier Drogba (90 points), and Bolton Wanderers FC's Nigerian
international Jay-Jay Okocha (63).
Racism 'widespread'
On the day Eto'o's award was confirmed, he spoke out against racism in
football, saying that "it seems to be coming more widespread and more
vitriolic". The Cameroonian international was subject to alleged racial
abuse during Barca's 4-1 victory at Real Zaragoza last weekend, although
this was not mentioned in the referee's report.
Responsibility
Eto'o, who will play in tonight's Football for Hope match at Camp Nou
to raise funds for the tsunami relief effort, added: "Sometimes a club
can do something about it, but it is the journalists and the white
players who can send the strongest messages against the abuse."
Martins honoured
FC Internazionale Milano striker Obafemi Martins was voted the Young
Player of the Year, while the award for Goal of the Year went to FC
Porto's South African international Benni McCarthy for one of his two
goals against Manchester United FC in the UEFA Champions League last
February.
Award for Weah
At its awards ceremony in Durban, South Africa, CAF also honoured past
greats, among them George Weah, the Liberian football star and a hero
at Paris Saint-Germain FC and AC Milan in the 1990s, who collected an
African Legend award.
