Samuel Eto'o who came in third in the balloting said: Just
being able to participate tonight has been worth it for me
because in football, the most important thing is not winning but
taking part. So for me, the fact that I am here makes me feel
like I have already won something.
There aren't words to express what I'm going through as an
African. I'm living the dream of every African boy. Can you
imagine a guy of 24, who just a few years ago was kicking a ball
around in a Cameroon street? This is truly unique and I will
cherish this souvenir. I remember
George Weah winning this, so for me to be here is
unbelievable.
