Emmanuel Eboue grabs fresh chance with Arsenal Legends

Emmanuel Eboue has grabbed a fresh chance to put himself in the shop window - this time with the Arsenal Legends.

Eboue played for the Gunners' legends side at Real Madrid on Sunday.

The 34-year-old appeared alongside greats such as Nicolas Anelka, David Seaman, Sol Campbell and Ray Parlour for the star-studded charity match.

Last Christmas, Eboue admitted he had been left homeless following a divorce.

“I want God to help me," he told the Mirror. “Only he can help take these thoughts from my mind.

“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."

Eboue has since been offered youth coaching jobs in Turkey and Italy.
