Despite his not-so-fantastic showing at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa, Cameroun's Samuel Eto'o rode on the back of his blistering UEFA Champions' League success and his goalsoring form in Inter Milan to clinch the Glo/CAF African Footballer of the Year for a record 4th time. Eto'o beat Ghana's Asamoah Gyan and Cote d'Ivoire's Didier Drogba, who clinched the second and third positions respectively.
As expected, the Super Eagles got no mention, but Taiye Taiwo and Vincent Enyeama made the Africa XI. Other winners include Ghana (Team of the Year), and Ahmed Hassan of Egypt. He won the Best Player Based in Africa award.
The award ceremony tookplace in Cairo, Egypt. I will provide a list of all the winners soon. But for now, let's hail the king.
