I went from eating snakes to stay alive to scoring a Premier League winner against Man United... now I'm out for FA Cup success with a Non-League side after appearing alongside Pep Guardiola in Ted Lasso!

A former Premier League star has opened up about their tough childhood and the extents they went to for food growing up in Cameroon before a career at the pinnacle of the game.

The ex-defender - now 37 - spent 18 years in senior English football before eventually hanging up their boots in 2022 to take on a role as manager of a Non-League outfit now in search of an FA Cup giant-killing.

The Cameroonian was on the books at 11 different clubs, and won titles in League One and the Championship - even scoring a winner to end Manchester United's 29-game winning run in 2011.
