Sometimes footballers can surprise us...

Professional footballers have a bad reputation and Luis Suarez didn't help the situation with his "biting incident" last night. The perception is that they are rich, spoiled and self-centered and a lot of them probably are but now and then they do something that can restore your faith in them. Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o is his country's most famous ever player, he's scored 58 goals in 118 international appearances and is pretty much considered a God back home. Cameroon's defeat to Brazil on Monday night saw them knocked out and it will probably be Eto'o's last appearance at a World Cup considering he's 33 now. On his way out of the team hotel after the day after the game, Eto'o stopped to hug a young fan and the whole situation got the better of both of them... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZwSk9xkduT8 We're not crying either... We were just chopping onions... Hat-tip to Telegraph.
