The 36-year-old is still playing, plying his trade in the Turkish league with Antalyaspor. His form this season suggests that he hasn't lost his goalscoring touch, with the Cameroonian having scored twice and laid on two more in just six games.
However, even the very best fluff their lines on occasion, as was the case for the former Barca star against Osmanlispor at the weekend when he inexplicably managed to fired wide with the goal gaping.
The miss didn't prove costly though, with Antalyaspor running out 3-0 winners with Eto'o scoring the opener.
