Samuel Eto'o, the most decorated African footballer of all time, holds the record for the most number of wins as 'African Footballer of the Year' and has won numerous accolades with different clubs, during his career.

Eto'o, who began his career with Real Madrid, was sent out on loan for a couple of seasons and failed to impress and make an impact. Mallorca signed the Cameroon international striker from Madrid in 2000 and spent the next four years developing his skills.

Barcelona came calling in 2004 and Eto'o made the switch, making him one of few players to play both for Real Madrid and Barcelona. Eto went on to win the 2006 Champions League to accompany a few La Liga titles. In 2009, his last year at Barcelona, Eto'o's goal in the final of the Champions League helped Barcelona to their second Champions League title in 4 years.

Eto'o's departure to Inter Milan coincided with Zlatan moving the other way to Barcelona, although Eto'o and Inter would have the final laugh, as Inter under Mourinho beat Barcelona in the semi-finals of the tournament.

Inter would eventually go on and claim their first Champions League trophy in 2010, with a win over Bayern Munich, as Eto'o became only the fourth man in the modern era to win back-to-back UEFA Champions League titles.
