Death Of Marc-Vivien Foé

The ball is already over, Cameroon leaves with a 1-0 victory against Colombia, it is the semi-final of the continental cup at the Stade de Gerland Lyon in the North of France, they go to the rooms cheering with all their might.

Suddenly Captain Rigobert Song enters the room while crying and tells them that Marc Vivien Foe is no longer with us, suddenly the players were confused, he went out winger Winfried Schafer to the medical room, when he arrived, he met Foe’s body still wearing the Cameroon jersey.

Schafer saw Foe’s mother and his wife Marie Louise at Marc’s side, Lion was sleeping on the table, he could not believe his eyes, he looked at Doctor Xavier Richaud, and he signaled to him that our Lion is officially resting, he will not wake up again.

When the crying has become too much, one midfielder Eric Djemba Djemba was lucky enough to talk to Foe for the last time, when they were on the bus going to the stadium, Foe told Djemba that “If someone has to die for Cameroon, then die but the team must win”.
