“Curtain” on his controversial career was thrown by Alexander Song!
The Cameroonian defensive midfielder, who became known after playing for Arsenal, Barcelona, West Ham and several other European clubs, announced via Instagram that after 19 years he hangs up his football boots on the pitches.
In his career outside the three aforementioned teams, Song played for Bastia, Charlton, Rubin Kazan, Sion, while his last team was Arta/Solar of Djibouti.
Among other things, Song also played with the Cameroon national team, in 49 games without scoring a goal,
In his Instagram message, Song said: “It is with great sadness that the time has come to hang up my shoes. My journey that started in Yaoundé as a child, playing without shoes, barefoot on hard gravel and that gave me strength and courage to succeed.
When I moved to France, playing for Bastia I thought I had achieved a miracle. However, that was only the beginning as my journey continued to Arsenal and Barcelona, two of the biggest clubs in the world. So many people have helped me along the way, my wife, kids, family, friends, my agent, coaches and of course all my teammates I will be forever grateful.
Of course Charlton, West Ham, Rubin Kazan, Sion and Arta/Solar 7 will always remain in my heart. Having the honor of representing my country 60 times also filled me with great pride. I feel blessed with so many great memories that will stay with me forever.
Finally, I would like to thank all the fans who have supported me along the way, I will treasure everything. I hope to see you all again soon.
Alex”
