@@gabkoost gotta think about context. Eto'o played in an era with some amazing footballers. I'd argue in 95 Weah didn't have much competition for the Ballon d'Or. What do u think?
This guy was an absolute machine and was easily my favourite striker in the mid to late 2000s. Winning back to back trebles with two different teams also isn't for everyone...
Samuel was one of the best African players ever. Etoo Ronaldinho and Messi is one of the best front 3s ever that rarely gets mentioned. He’s a legend no doubt 👑
Thank you for this one, definately one of the greatest strikers ever, still to this day underestimated & unrecognised properly, beautiful style, skill, pace, timing - and huge loving heart, more than anything. History & time will do him justice 🤟🎩.
I was lucky to watch his career blossom and as a 10 year old I modeled his game around mine playing in the streets. One of the greatest players of all time who could play under the cosh and quite reliable and skillful. His eye for goal was ridiculous to be honest. HE WAS A MAN OF HIS WORD!
Thank you very much for this story Sir,I broke into tears seen how Etoo suffered in the world of football from Paris in France, Madrid in Spain and how Guardiola and Barcelona did not value Etoo services as their best striker ever and how Africa did not also value Etoo services for represnting our Continent to the world of football and how FIFA, UEFA refused to give him his world best Balon Dor in 2010,2011 seasons at Barcelona and Inter and the refused to put him in the All Star list till today😢😢😢😢King Etoo you will forever be African all time greatest footballer ever and one of the world greatest striker of all time.King Etoo be in our hearts forever❤❤❤
Thank you so so much for doing this video. I'm Jamaican, and Chelsea has been my team since 1965. That was the year my father took me to England, where I stayed for seven years. One of my regrets is that this great player, didn't join my team after leaving Barca. But I do VERY vividly remember his one season with us, and how can I forget his three goals against Man United, at which time he was supposed to be in decline. Thanks for sharing his football story with us. Thank you SO much. I had to subscribe after the joy his story gave me.
@@jupiteryandje8678 He chose to go in as president of the football federation so clearly he doesn't fancy coaching. Whether he'll make a good coach can only be speculations.
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT sorry to hear that because this one seems to be one of the best. Maybe some kind of push for people to set their notifications on, idk the UA-cam world but I see the annoying channels push and they seem to be doing well.

The Greatest African Player of All-time in all opinions...What he achieved can not be easily replicated...what is left is for other African players to score much more goals to try and keep up
He certainly was the best striker during the late 2000's. His biggest competitor for that title in the late 00s was probably Fernando Torres, and even he only had 1 truly world class season with 30+ goals. Sheva declined fast after Milan, Henry grew less prolific and deadly at Barca, Van Nistelrooy's best late 00 season led to a La Liga title but no CL etc. Eto'o hit 30+ goals 3 times between 2005-2011, and won the Champions League 2 of those times (plus another third time, with Inter).
STICK A PIN ON THIS PARTICULAR PLAYER SAMUEL ETO ONE OF MY MOST FEARED STRIKERS WHEN PLAYING FIFA 2006, FIFA 2007 THE GUY WAS INCREDIBLE IN CAREER MODE ALWAYS WINNING THE GOLDEN BOOT IN MY LA LIGA SAVES 49 GOALS IN 55 MATCHES HE WAS A BEAST OF A PLAYER
Awesome player and awesome man. I have a special place in my heart for him- as do lots of cules! Easily one of my three all time favourite players along Iniesta and Puyol.
I still maintain he should have won the Ballon D'or in 2009. Maybe not the absolute best African player ever, but the greatest for the achievements he made
Your videos are awesome. They show us that the players we idolized as boys were extraordinary men whose flaws we can only appreciate now that we are men.
Hey, i love your videos. I'm going trough all of them atm. Can i make a request? I would love to see a how good was on 2 very interesting players. As a Barça fan but in general a football fan, i would love to see Raul Gonzalez Blanco even tho he was at Madrid and also the most underrated of all time in my humble opinion. Klaas Jan Huntelaar! Thanks in advance and keep doing these awesome vids!
Think about it! If Real didn’t rejected him? Does he provided this? Or if Barca didn’t sold him? Will he ever got chance to win another UCL? In an another country? What is happening is happening for good. He has good heart! Look he earns it!
I seriously think a great player missing out on the opportunity to win the Ballon D 'or shouldn't be any serious miss. I for one doesn't place much emphasis on the award seeing so much controversy with players that should have won but did, for example Robert Lewandowski. Samuel Eto'o is the greatest player from Africa and even though his many ordeals I still think he absolutely went to the pinnacle of his career.
I remember I couldn't afford to buy Jersey so I used paint to write Eto'o, Robinho, Ronaldinho or Kaka on my tshirt, Damn I was a monster back den. Wish my family had money or the vision to push me. I believe I could be the second African to win ballon d'or. Ballon D'or keep ripping Africans. Good content bro, you should also do somethin on Ghana Pele(Abedi Pele) or Essien. LongLiveAfrica🖤
He definitely deserved a balloon dore but y'all know how it is with racism. So no wonder he doesn't have one but his talent speaks for it self. One of the only great players who went out with no scandals.
I am not sure but isn't Eto'o generally considered the greatest African player of all time. The only other name I hear even remotely is Dridier Drogba and that one George Weah fan once in a blue moon.
As a RCD Mallorca fan, here Eto’o is the biggest legend of the club, he is truly the best player we’ve ever had.
as a barcelona fan he is a club GOAT, up there with dinho.
Fake Barca fan caught
Thank you for giving this man the respect he deserves. Greatest African footballer ever! At his peak he was the best striker in the world
No worries man, if you could leave a like it would be great help, video isn't doing too good at all
I won't put Etoo over Weah.
Weah was R9 before R9.
But granted, he was the best striker in the world for a couple of seasons.
@@gabkoost gotta think about context. Eto'o played in an era with some amazing footballers. I'd argue in 95 Weah didn't have much competition for the Ballon d'Or. What do u think?
Over salah no way
@@lucsweezy732 yes over salah
This guy was an absolute machine and was easily my favourite striker in the mid to late 2000s. Winning back to back trebles with two different teams also isn't for everyone...
An elite striker,razor sharp in mind,he was possibly one of the most dangerous players to play the game.
true, incredible mentality, always clear headed
The ONLY player to win back to back trebles. What an absolute boss
Samuel was one of the best African players ever. Etoo Ronaldinho and Messi is one of the best front 3s ever that rarely gets mentioned. He’s a legend no doubt 👑
Underrated front 3 for sure, add Henry and Larsson and it's just unbelievable
Unbelievable pep traded him.
@@chd1694 Pep didn't like players who had an opinion. Zlatan will tell you about that.
He is the goat of Africa
@@williamdarrylntouba7983 I am making a video about this topic - since AFCON just finished
Eto’o had a beautiful yet heartbreaking story. Thank you for retelling his story with the most respect I’ve seen for Eto’o in a long time.
The greatest forward man I dont think people understand how grate he is not even Barcelona will ever got another striker like him
Thank you for this one, definately one of the greatest strikers ever, still to this day underestimated & unrecognised properly, beautiful style, skill, pace, timing - and huge loving heart, more than anything. History & time will do him justice 🤟🎩.
Youre welcome, glad you enjoyed!
Don't say that he's well recognized all over the world.
Eto'o was a ballon d'or who never won it.
He was the best at his peak, and a personal best sticker of all time.
Pace, technique, position everything
SAMUEL ETOO IS THE BEST AFRICAN PLAYER OF ALL TIME FOR BOTH COUNTRY AND CLUB. THE STATS DON'T LIE. YOU HAVE A NEW SUBSCRIBER.
I was lucky to watch his career blossom and as a 10 year old I modeled his game around mine playing in the streets. One of the greatest players of all time who could play under the cosh and quite reliable and skillful. His eye for goal was ridiculous to be honest.

Beautiful documentary about one of african football 's greatest legends... A true legend indeed..!! 🙏 🙏 🙏
"¡Madrid, Cabron, saluda al campeón!" 😅
One of a kind player, he was such a good dressing room influence
iconic, even madridistas gotta admit it
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT as a madridista, yep, he's a legend
@@Yarblocosifilitico good sport
It takes a huge pair to say that to the face of Real Madrid!
A very fitting tribute to the legend. Great video mate. Et'o was definitely a role model on and off the field
Thanks man! Glad you liked it
He just won the election as president of the football federation in his home country Cameroon. His passion for football and zeal to win is unmatched.
Would he make the perfect coach for Cameroon??
@@jupiteryandje8678 He chose to go in as president of the football federation so clearly he doesn't fancy coaching. Whether he'll make a good coach can only be speculations.
Thanks for the insightful story about Eto's football career. I really adore it. What a career!
The research is top notch! The story telling enthralling 👍🏼

The Greatest African Player of All-time in all opinions...What he achieved can not be easily replicated...what is left is for other African players to score much more goals to try and keep up
"Your so good we have to convince your mom to let us play" Eto's Dad
I know Eto'o when I played Winning Eleven 2000. He was a second Striker in Cameroon National Team to give assist to Patrick Mboma
I think this is the best ever video of (papa) ETO'O and his achievements thanking you sir.
ofc man, glad you liked it
Ive been looking for this 😭 the best striker in Africa ever
Glad you got it man!

Luca Toni was great in 2008. Mario Gomez too. Wayne Rooney, Drogba too.
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT dont forget Cristiano Ronaldo. He was just beginning
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT Eto'o was better than Toni and Gomez no debate.
This piece was a Masterpiece 👌🏽
Thank you for telling his story from start to finish❤
A great video by all standards. It would be great if you could make a video of the only African to win the Ballon d'or, George Weah.
I've done it , here: ua-cam.com/video/7EoQkwz58xo/v-deo.html
can't think of any striker better than him in his prime!
Batistuta, shearer, van nistelrooy, R9?
Thank you for bringing Eto'o , the African greatest

Thank you my brother for this great vedio of an amazing player,and take some credit for the great work that you are doing.
Thanks!
Excellent video, one of my favorite players of all time
He was a nightmare for madrid
He really was, it's insane how many times he scored against them
I think this is one of my favourite UA-cam channels! So good!!
Thanks man, means a lot
you deserve a lot more followers my friend 😊 here is one new one at least. keep up the awesome work you do !!!
The man was the real beast in the field. Pure and gifted. Those who hated him were racist..... "
I am Nigerian and i must say i love your channel, keep it UP...............Great content ......Keep it UP!
I still maintain he should have won the Ballon D'or in 2009. Maybe not the absolute best African player ever, but the greatest for the achievements he made
Messi is hard to beat
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT What matters is Eto'o wasn't even top 3 bro. He could even beat Leo because he was the leader of Barcelona at that time.
He scored the winning goal against chelsea in the round of 16
Possibly my favorite #9.
AWESOME TRIBUTE TO ETO WELL DESERVED
Thanks man, glad you enjoyed it
Very well made video to respect a true legend and sure my club barca’s top 10..
Very good video, we need more video's like this please make a video on the story of Arda Turan , what happened to him. Please make one video on it 👍✌😕
Awesome video bro! Samuel Eto is the G.O.A.T! Please do Lucas Radebe & Benni McCarthy 🙏
Your videos are awesome. They show us that the players we idolized as boys were extraordinary men whose flaws we can only appreciate now that we are men.
As an African I’m happy to see you making a video of an African player 😁😁😁
I'm glad man, there'll be more to come for sure
The great Samuel Eto'o. A true legend of the game. The second greatest striker of all time behind Ronaldo Luis Nazario.
Hey, i love your videos. I'm going trough all of them atm. Can i make a request? I would love to see a how good was on 2 very interesting players. As a Barça fan but in general a football fan, i would love to see Raul Gonzalez Blanco even tho he was at Madrid and also the most underrated of all time in my humble opinion. Klaas Jan Huntelaar! Thanks in advance and keep doing these awesome vids!
Great suggestions! Will for sure do both eventually!
6 years after his retirement, he still amazes us how he accomplished the double treble back to back with two different teams. Legendary!
Expecting a lecture?? Sir,here we call it a BEATING!!
Ahah I guess so, btw sick dance moves!
You call it a beating?? Here we call it a INTENSE LECTURE ..
Excellent video, one of my favorite strikers of all time. Can you do one of Drogba if you haven’t
I already did it, here's the link: ua-cam.com/video/jU2oFmyen0s/v-deo.html

100% agree

Good point
That's true 👍
Absolutely fantastic video. Thank you so much!
You're welcome man, it makes my day to see that you guys enjoy them so much
Bro you did your homework, This generation doesnt know about Samuel . Thank you for this 🇨🇲
if he was european he would be regarded as the best in the ranks of the van bastens
Van Basten was world class on al isto every postion ,Etto was brutal only as a striker.
Nope
Thank you for taking your time to make this great video
Glad you enjoyed man! don't forget to drop a like, it's been tough lately.
I appreciate the choice to highlight the African talent that if it were not for Ronaldinho, he would have won the Balon D'or
Ballon Dor never liked him much, Fifa world player of the year would have been more likely
Word class player
Watching from Kenya 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Look at the impact you are making
How is it living there?
Underrated
he really is
my top 3 favorite footballer of all time
Definitely best video in this channel
I'll take it ahah
You are fulfilling all my Dreams with those videos! Keep going like this and you will grow in no time
Thanks man, unfortunately they have been doing awful and so far this one seems to be going the same way, it's really bumming me out
@@DailyDoseOfFootballYT Ask to a big Fifa palyer to sponsor you, i think this Will do the trick
Samuel Eto'0 the Legend🙏⚽💪🔥👏.
Great recap bro! I have learnt a lot from this video.
Great video .. again ;) . Now im gonna ask you to do the The Great (and my favorito ) Gabriel Omar Batistuta :)
Thanks! Would love to do Batistuta, have gotten close to doing one on him many times, just never happened
Great video. But bro add a timeline. Would like to know for example when Eto's career ended
My brother used to call this guy a rolls royce❤that's respect coming from a united fan
Thank you for giving him his respect he is one the best

Love ur videos
What a great man thanks for the video

He is a legend
As a Nigerian I can confirm that Samuel Etoo is the greatest African player of all time
His last filmed statement won me again.
What a Legend
Who?
Pep Guardiola was a fool to let him go to Inter Milan.
But it was also a good thing cause Inter Milan won the Champions League in 2010 lol
Good for Etoo!
After the King Ronaldo Brazilian (phenomenon) Samuel Eto'o is the best number 9 in the world.
yeah R9 was better imo as well
He definitely deserved a balloon dore but y'all know how it is with racism. So no wonder he doesn't have one but his talent speaks for it self. One of the only great players who went out with no scandals.
What year should he have won it?
Well done 👏
Proud to be Cameroonian.
I am a City fan but I always admires African players esp the legend Etoo. He deserved a ballon dor
He deserved a ballon d'Or
Now President of cameroon footbal ! Goat
I am not sure but isn't Eto'o generally considered the greatest African player of all time. The only other name I hear even remotely is Dridier Drogba and that one George Weah fan once in a blue moon.
Okocia was great
Great player wish my team offered him a chance to play when he was younger, Rangers. He should have won a Balloon, de, or Brilliant.
We all do ahah
