Of Yaya Toure, John Obi Mikel, Aubameyang!

YAYA'S YOYO
Could there be a more megalomaniac African footballer than Yaya Toure? He is massively obsessed with his self-importance. He is bitter that Gabon's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang won the 2015 CAF African Footballer of the Year award, branding his failure to win it the fourth successive time as a "shame on Africa". He thinks he should be the natural choice because he helped Cote d'Ivoire win the 2014 African Cup of Nations. Where were you, Yaya, when John Mikel Obi shone brilliantly as Nigeria won the same trophy in 2013 — but the prestigious award went to one guy named Yaya Toure? Pathetic.
