In an interview with the Canal Football Club, Emmanuel Eboué reviews his long run to hell, evoking his risk of expulsion and shame.

'All I want is to return to football once more. I still possess ability,” he told French TV show Canal: 

'I would even go to places like Baghdad or Pakistan just to play football. I don't care where.  

"I live with my bags already packed, as there is a chance I could be kicked out of my house.

"I don't have anyone by my side nowadays. I feel abandoned.

"I used to get on well with my children and my family, and now I am completely alone.

"Football is an ungrateful world. It is no longer about talent - instead it is money and business.

"It hurts me. I no longer switch on the TV when I am at home, as when I see my friends playing football I am happy for them - but deep down within myself I am in tears.

"When I got divorced I realised that there was nothing left in my bank account. I couldn't believe it.

Now lonely in his life, the former Arsenal star is deeply unhappy after he lost a divorce battle to his wife, Aurelie and got stripped of all his assets.
