Remember Foe (24.06.2005)
Two years ago, Cameroon lost one of its most illustrious sons, Marc Vivien Foe.
The date was June 26, 2003. The day Thursday. The event, the Confederations Cup. The place Gerland Stadium in Lyon, France. Cameroon’s international midfielder, Marc Vivien Foe, collapsed on the pitch at the 72nd minute of the semi-final against Colombia in Lyon. Doctors were unable to revive the 28-year-old. His death was announced shortly after the final whistle. Cameroon and the whole football family were shocked by this unbelievable tragedy. Celebrations following the 1-0 win of Cameroon over Colombia in the Confederations Cup semi-final were cut short, as a sober mood gripped the entire nation.
Sunday June 26, 2005 will be exactly two years. But it is just like yesterday. How time flies! Memories of the tough-tackling midfielder, who was introduced to the big stage at World Cup USA in 1994, are still fresh in our minds. In Germany, where the 2005 Confederations Cup is underway, FIFA has decided to remember the fallen hero; in its own way. The second semi-final of the Confederations Cup on Sunday, June 26, in Hannover will be dedicated to the late Cameroon star. The world football body said it wanted to pay tribute to Foe exactly two
years from the day he died.
The present homage goes to add to the series of respects which have been paid to the departed hero. Foe was given a State funeral. A day before the burial, the remains were exposed in the Ahmadou Ahidjo stadium with over 30,000 people turning up to pay their tribute to the one they fondly called "Marco". The Church service at the Yaounde Cathedral was attended by the Head of State, Paul Biya. The then Prime minister of Cameroon, Peter Mafany Musonge led government and international personalities, including FIFA president Sepp Blatter, to Foe’s final resting place in his sports complex he was constructing in Okoui. Amidst military honours, the fallen hero was decorated posthumously as commander of the national order of valour.
In the same vein, several friendly matches have been organized to his honour and the gate takings handed to the family. Manchester City, the last club in which Foe exhibited his talents, withdrew the number 23 shirt as a mark of respect to the midfielder.
Foe was imposing in the midfield and used his height to his advantage, especially with airborne balls. The Lions miss him. Cameroonians miss him. Marc Vivien Foe is gone. But his memory lingers on. Forever.
