Samuel Eto'o has restated his belief that he is the greatest African footballer of all time, while also taking a jab at fellow former forwards El-Hadji Diouf and Didier Drogba. Former Liverpool forward Diouf recently claimed he was the greatest striker to ever come out of the continent, while debates over the best African players of all time tend to make mention of former Chelsea and Ivory Coast star Drogba. The claims of both have been dismissed by ex-Cameroon international Eto'o, who says his burning desire to be the best fired him to a stellar career. "Even if my brother Diouf the last time, with an extra glass, got a little lost, there is no debate", said Eto'o, in a reference to the Diouf video where the former Senegal international appeared a little drunk. "None of them [Diouf and Drogba] can come and say that they were at my level or better. And it's not the fact that I say it, it's a fact, it's something that is there. I wanted to be number one and I have been throughout my career." If based on awards during their careers, there are few players in the world - let alone Africa - who can touch the success enjoyed by Eto'o during his playing days. He has won African Player of the Year four times, level with Yaya Toure, while Drogba and Diouf earned the award twice. Eto'o, in a career which took him to Real Madrid, Real Mallorca, Barcelona, Inter, Chelsea, Everton and more, won a remarkable array of trophies including four Champions Leagues, three La Liga titles, two Copa del Rey trophies, a Serie A, a Coppa Italia, and the FIFA Club World Cup. He also represented Cameroon on 118 occasions, scoring 56 goals and playing at four World Cups. He also won an Olympic gold medal in 2000, and two African Cup of Nations titles. Diouf meanwhile had an even more nomadic career than Eto'o, his clubs including Sochaux, Stade Rennais, Lens, Liverpool, Bolton Wanderers, Blackburn Rovers, Sunderland, Rangers, Doncaster Rovers and Leeds United. His trophy cabinet however is far barer than that of the Cameroonian, comprising just one English League Cup, as well as a Scottish Premier League title and a Scottish League Cup.

Righteousness89: Exactly, what's he doing there? Not that Diouf wasn't a decent striker, and on a good day could carry the Senegal team if necessary, but he isn't at Eto'o or Drogba's level. 38 Likes |

Of cuz yes, Samuel Etoo is the best African footballer till date, even better than George Weah by far. It is an insult to put Drogba in the same sentence with Etoo. Then, who the hell is Diouf? Diouf should be comparing himself with the likes of Yakubu Aiyegbeni, mtchewwwwww! 87 Likes 6 Shares |

Eto'o is miles ahead of the other duo. The only African great that can be compared with Eto'o is Weah and that is simply because the latter won the Ballon' Dor. 27 Likes |
