The retired Cameroonian is pleased with his accomplished despite never being recognised as the world's best player
Samuel Eto'o has revealed it doesn't bother him that he never won the Ballon d'Or award during his glittering player career.
The Cameroonian is the closest any African has come to winning the award since George Weah's triumph in 1995, finishing third behind then Barcelona teammate Ronaldinho and Chelsea's Frank Lampard in the 2005 Fifa World Player of the Year award.
"I won so many trophies, I made so many dreams and for me that is the equivalent of winning the Ballon d'Or," Eto'o told AFP.
