Nice chap. Crap footballer.

[sendorange]

He was a good footballer. His record at Hamburg is speaking for itself.

Not suited for playing left back or left mid in a 4-4-2 though.

That really is nice of him to say actually. I like that. :cool:

AAAATOOUBA OHH AH I WANNA KNOOOOW WHEN U SCORE A GOAL

...now I'm confused? So if he isn't suited to playing at left-back or left midfield in a simple 4-4-2 formation, where is he suited to playing?

left wing back.

Good for him, it's rare to see players who have recently left a club give praise to them.

I hope he's right! Good attitude from Timmmmmay.

[PoshSpur]

So he's in a 3-5-2 formation. Good for him.

Best of luck for Atouba and the Hamburg fans.

Something funny came up on Spurs Community today. A well known poster was chatting to Rudolph Douala's agent (who said Douala may be signing for us) and he was saying how most African players lie about their age to get a longer career. For example Yakubu is really 29.

When he mentioned Atouba jokingly the agent said "20's? No, he's very clever. He's actually 30"

LMAO if it's true!

[PoshSpur]

The thing about African players lying about their age is so true. We have had many lie about their age in the Cypriot league.

It happens so much in junior football, you dont get many 6 foot 14 year olds with beards but i played against afew like that. :p

[PoshSpur]

You do in Cyprus, and it's because they take after their mothers. :p

When I was 13 I went to play in some world junior rugby championships in Scotland. We had two kids in my side who both had full beards (they were 13 as well), and when they went to the bar to get a Coke, a coach of another team thought they were coaches as well and bought them each a pint.

Great story.

[Danners9]

I can't even grow a proper beard now and i'm 21 :D

... :D , same thing used to happen to us when we played rugby you would get these Man boys playing it was quite amusing watching us being dragged behind a big ox., trying to tackle them.

....I'm 26 and have been trying to grow one for ages, well not a beard, but a goaty or something similar.

I shave once every 2 or 3 weeks.

My brother on the other hand is a neaderthal! Ok, we have different dads, but still, he's a freaking wolfman!

Taribo West - Says he's 29!

Kanu - Has been 26 for about 4 years

Amokachi - Reckons he's 31

Atouba - LIAR!

[PoshSpur]

Everton's Yobo says he's 23. Yeah right! With the gifted pass on Saturday, I'll say he was 12.

What about Lucas Radebe. He has been 36 for the past 5 seasons.

[a-m-a-n]

so how old is kanu, yakubu, okocha and radebe.
i'm really curious because yakubu and atouba look older than they are. anyone has a source or a link?

Read the thread, there are only 2 pages and it says so within!
