Update: Eligible For Nigeria, But Chose Togo... Emmanuel Sheyi Adebayor Retires From Football💪🏿😰

Adebayor was also eligible to play for Nigeria but chose to represent the country of his birth, Togo.

Adebayor helped Togo qualify for the 2006 Africa Cup of Nations after scoring 11 goals in the qualifiers, more than any other player in the African qualifiers.

On 10 February 2009, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) picked Adebayor as the African Footballer of the Year for 2008 at an awards ceremony held in Lagos, Nigeria.

He was the first Togolese to win the award as Africa's best player.🥶

Adebayor helped Togo to qualify for the 2006 FIFA World Cup in Germany.

On 8 January 2010, Adebayor was one of the players involved when the Togo national team's bus came under a gunfire attack on the way to the Africa Cup of Nations in Angola.

The fatal attack, in which all the players survived but three other people were killed, led to Togo withdrawing from the tournament.

“Thank you to my fans for being there every step of the way. I’m feeling so grateful for everything, and excited for what’s to come!” reads the caption that accompanied Adebayor’s farewell video.

He also won the BBC Best Player 2008..
Won the Copa Del Rey with Real Madrid...
Include in PFA Team Of The Year...

He's aged 39... His philanthropic activities in his home country speaks volume💪🏿

We love you soldier🚶🏿‍♂️

This guy could have been the highest goal scorer in the history of the premier league but wastefulness in front of goal didn't allow him. Fabregas especially tire for him matter.

Adebayor was a lazy player
