10 Things Crystal Palace Fans Need To Know About Emmanuel Adebayor

8. Colourful Family Life

Adebayor loves his family. So much so, in a bizarre Facebook rant, he claimed that since he was seventeen, he has bankrolled their lives. The heartfelt post explained that he has built houses, brought them to foreign countries for health checks, funded his Mum's cookie business, paid for numerous flights and got his brother into a football academy. He was paid back by his brother stealing his teammates' phones and with numerous requests for more and more money. People have a go at his exorbitant wages but I think that's unfair. if you divide his wages by the hundreds of people he is looking after, he's probably actually skint.
