18 years after the Cameroon midfielder's tragic passing, Goal remember his legacy
18 years after one of Cameroon's favourite sons, Marc-Vivien Foe passed away, Goal celebrate a player whose candle burned brightly…but all too briefly.
The Central African's impact on the African game was memorable, but was ultimately unfulfilled, with the player passing away following a cardiac arrest while on international duty with Cameroon at the 2003 Confederations Cup.
"Marc-Vivien Foe will leave us the memory of a charming boy, the incarnation of the joy in life," read a statement on the Olympique Lyonnais website.
