...some good news for the Gunners...:) Emmanuel Adebayor Emmanuel Adebayor has been named African Player of the Year 2008 on behalf of Super Magazine. Adebayor, who is the current BBC African Footballer of the Year, collected the award at a Gala dinner in Abu Dhabi. The award caps a fine year for the Togolese striker who was the Premier Leagues golden boot runner-up for 2007/08 after scoring 24goals in just 32 starts. The Togolese forward is also a superstar in every sense of the word - his stunning rise aided by a series of scintillating displays for English Premier League side Arsenal. Born in Togo to Nigerian parents, he cannot go anywhere these days without being mobbed by adoring fans. Yet, the lanky 24-year-old is not particularly showy and projects himself with consummate ease. In my view, the winner of the 2007 BBC African Footballer of the Year award is a reminder that not all professional footballers are arrogant millionaires with egos to match the enormous size of their pay packets. ...hivi mtanzania gani vile yule aliyekuwa naminated player of the year? mnakumbuka? :)
