Anecdote

When he was 15, Eto'o signed with Real Madrid and flew over. However, when he arrived on Madrid airport, nobody received him. In his desperation, young Samuel walked over to the first African he encountered. That man took pity on him and took him to the Real Madrid grounds. Eto'o has stated that he would gladly thank this man, but that he neither has his name or contacts.
