Sad One from Former Arsenal Player, Emmanuel Eboue Who Now Hides from Bailiffs and Sleeps On A Friend’s Floor
Former Arsenal Star, Emmanuel Eboue, during an illustrious seven-year career as defender of his club in the Premier League earned millions of pounds in wages, lived in a mansion and drove flashy cars.
This well known Ex-Arsenal player now spends his days hiding from bailiffs, sometimes sleeps on the floor of a friend’s home, travels by bus and even cleans his clothes by hand because he has no washing machine. The 34-year-old tells how his staggering riches-to-rags plight has pushed him to the brink of suicide.
He said in a recent interview with Mirror “I want God to help me. Only he can help take these thoughts from my mind.”
He is currently not fit to play football because of his health issues, says he has been pushed to the brink. He has lost a bitter divorce battle, with his wife Aurelie awarded all of their assets. He had to hide from cops and bailiffs after being ordered by a judge to transfer his remaining Enfield home to his wife. He’s faced a heartbreaking estrangement from his three kids, who he has not seen since June and has been grieving after the cancer death of grandfather Amadou Bertin who raised him and the loss of his brother N’Dri Serge, killed in a motorbike accident.
“I can’t afford the money to continue to have any lawyer or barrister. I am in the house but I am scared. Because I don’t know what time the police will come. Sometimes I shut off the lights because I don’t want people to know that I am inside. I put everything behind the door. My own house. I suffered to buy my house but I am now scared. I am not going to sell my clothes or sell what I have. I will fight until the end because it is not fair.”
