Drogba Named Africa Footballer Of The Year! by Akolawole(m): 9:55pm On Mar 01, 2007
What a time to come back after my sabbatical.

As predicted, Didier Drogba had been crowned Africa No 1 Player.

Congrats my man!

@Muki love

congrats jare Akola, at least this is a meaningful thread worthy of creation, not a shout allah akbar or a what happened to arsenal thread.

kudos to drogba, but i have a small problem with this awards: is it given based on current perception of the player or the performances over the last yr/season?

because if it is given over the last season (05/06) then Eto'o deserves to win in my opinion, but if its current performance, then didier takes it

no matter, i guess they did it just to make sure it wasn't eto'o 4 or 5 years in a row.
Re: Drogba Named Africa Footballer Of The Year! by mukina2: 10:30pm On Mar 01, 2007

Re: Drogba Named Africa Footballer Of The Year! by Akolawole(m): 10:33pm On Mar 01, 2007
@Debosky

How my bro?

(1) For the "Alau Akbar threads", it should be a joint effort by everyone to stop it EXCEPT ME. I have been accused of being too "bossy" on this issue. For me anything goes.

(2) Regarding the award, its abracadabra but i think its January to December each year.
Re: Drogba Named Africa Footballer Of The Year! by mukina2: 10:36pm On Mar 01, 2007
why refer to the threads as allahu akbar angry

Re: Drogba Named Africa Footballer Of The Year! by Akolawole(m): 11:08pm On Mar 01, 2007
@Razoor

I think TT deserves it.

He is a regular in Marsielle

He plays in UEFA cup

He walk straight to Naija team.

Dont forget, he was 3rd best U-21 player a year earlier behind Mikel and Barca's Messi.

Re: Drogba Named Africa Footballer Of The Year! by dayokanu(m): 11:13pm On Mar 01, 2007
I think Drogba deserves it and kudos to CAF I thinkit is when the award does not go to our favourite player that we complain of CAF/Hayatou bias for me most award given are deserved.
Taiye Taiwo young playa abeg change topic learnt he recently had a baby gal and I think he is just 20years old Congrats E go gree (Taiwo nickname since the mid nineties while he was playing Jeun Jeun aroung Ikotun/Iyana-Ipaja axis)

I dont like discussing african football ages on public forum.

Nairaland reaches Zurich in nano-second.

Let the players be jare.

@ Dayokanu

Jeun Jeun? Where u dey stay sef, cos this yarns na coded yarns, u sef don gba jeun jeun b4? grin

@ Topic,

I'm the least surprised that Drogba came out tops. Methinks it's gonna be Essien next or better still Drogba again. It's not the best, since Mustapha Hadji, only strikers end up receiving the award. I dont support that.
