Eto'o reunites with ex-teammate

As seen in a video going viral on social media, Eto'o was at a bank for a seminar and, on his way out, had an emotional moment with a former teammate.

The man, whose identity is yet to be uncovered, works as a security guard at the bank. The pair exchanged pleasantries, and Eto'o told those around him he was his colleague.

The four-time African Footballer of the Year agreed to meet him again as he was in a hurry to another meeting.

“We need to meet up and talk because I can't speak right now. I have a meeting in 10 mins. Talk to Christian (My PA) to set up a meeting for us. Take care friend,” he said.

Both men have been applauded on social media for keeping it real, as the man could have hidden himself in shame, or Eto'o could have ignored him when he called.

“When life favours you, don’t ever think others are lazy. Bravo to Eto’o on acknowledging his old teammate.”

@Irebamiolakanm1 replied:

“And Eto went back to greet him well, that’s a good man. That security man's status is about to change for good.”

@kristiano_88 replied:

“Some people will hide, out of shame, but that's not right. His life will probably change for the better because he didn't shy away due to his status. He came out.”

@oladimeji_ipaye replied:

“Good men!!!! Both acknowledged each other regardless of the huge differences in their current status. Big up Eto for showing the most love and respect towards his old friend. Only men can do this out of the blue when they meet an old friend who’s down on their luck.”
