“I just needed a chance” - Enock Wanyama reflects on difficult spell at Gor Mahia

Cameroonian star Benoit Assou-Ekotto is one of a kind. And the words of his former Spurs teammate prove it big-time

One thing is always guaranteed with Peter Crouch - he'll make you laugh no matter the subject. And if that subject is extravagant African star and his former Tottenham teammate Benoit Assou-Ekotto, then you're provided with top-of-the-notch content.

Crouch recalled the Cameroonian's unique personality, which has left a massive trace and memories among the Spurs.

"He would tell us straight out that he had no interest in football whatsoever. He genuinely didn't like it. At 1.30 pm on a Saturday, he'd have no idea which team you were playing. But Benoit, we've been talking about them in training all week..., " recollects Crouch, per Mailsport.

Assou-Ekotto's one-of-a-kind approach was blatant, even in terms of his pre-match meal.

"Now, none of us are adventurous," admits Crouch. "It's pasta, chicken, no sauce, and has been for the past 20 years. Benoit would turn up with a Tesco bag containing the same four items every time: a croissant, a hot chocolate, a full-fat Coke and a packet of crisps. The croissant, I understood. He is French-Cameroonian. The hot chocolate: same cultural backstory. He used to dip the first into the second. But the crisps, and the Coke - it was like two discrete lunches, one belonging to a middle-aged Parisian and the other a 12-year-old. And it worked! He was always in great shape and rarely injured.

"We accepted it, along with all the other weirdness: the random cars he would turn up to training in, sometimes a Smart car, then a Lamborghini. The way he would refuse to take ice baths for recovery, on the rather basic premise that they were 'too cold'. Benoit was a really weird guy, but we loved him a lot," concludes Crouch.
