Barcelona's Eto'o Brings In Terminally ill Child

Cameroonian Star Samuel Eto'o keeps faith with Barcelona's committment to the poor and needy.

That Barcelona was chosen by UNICEF for partnership was not just by random selection. The club and its players personify the International Organisation's philosophies.

Club star striker, Samuel Eto'o examplified this when, prior to the Espanyol match, he sought high and low to get a terminally ill 10-year old child to be close to him always and toured with the Barca squad.

The sick child watched the Espanyol match live and went on to be with the Barca team, attending their training session on Sunday morning and monitoring Coach Rijkaard's work-out techniques.

Perhaps this can encourage the youngster to fight his illness with more resolve and one day become a Coach like Frank or a goal poacher like his idol, Samuel Eto'o.
