Meet The Humble, Unknown But Renowned African Footballer Who Has Helped Save Fou by mexyudu(m): 2:59pm On Nov 14, 2017
High on a shelf in an unassuming living room on the outskirts of the Czech city Brno sits a trophy with the words ‘THE BEST – FIFA’ on it.
It’s a modest place for such a prestigious award yet its equally-humble owner hopes its symbolism can change one of football’s – and society’s – greatest scourges.

Francis Kone was awarded the Fifa prize last month after the Togo international, then playing for Slovacko FC, saved the life of Bohemians’ Martin Berkovec while playing a Czech league game in February.
