Some African football stars who gathered in Togo to honor Emmanuel Adebayor had the time of their lives as football fused with entertainment to deliver a memorable retirement ceremony for the Togolese football icon.
Among the football legends who travelled to Togo to play in the Emmanuel Adebayor retirement match was former Arsenal and Ivorian full-back Emmanuel Eboue.
A video shared by Eboue on his social media handles captures the former defender delivering a dance performance at the concert that preceded the game.
Emmanuel Eboue took to the stage to entertain Emmanuel Adebayor and his family, who were given front-row seats at the event.
The event also had the presence of Ghanaian legend Asamoah Gyan, Nigerian duo Jay Jay Okocha and Nwankwo Kanu, Senegalese legend El Hadji Diouf, and Ivorian legend Salomon Kalou.
Emmanuel Adebayor, who scored 32 goals in 85 games for his country, finished his career in his homeland at Semassi.
Only three African players have scored more Premier League goals than Adebayor’s 97: Chelsea’s Didier Drogba (104), former Liverpool and Southampton winger Sadio Mane (111), and Liverpool forward Mohamed Salah (131).
Emmanuel Adebayor played for Arsenal, Manchester City, Real Madrid, Tottenham, and a host of clubs in Europe.
