Why food up the nose and tiger costumes make Eboue the funniest guy at the Emirates

Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor has lifted the lid on the club's real funnyman – his namesake Emmanuel Eboue.

He told FourFourTwo magazine: "People who know me would say I'm a cool guy, always laughing and joking. But Emmanuel Eboue – he's funnier than the funniest comedians on TV.

"Sometimes when he eats he puts food up his nose and when he met the Queen at Buckingham Palace he was on the floor playing with her corgis."

But Eboue's finest moment, says Adebayor, came at the same Christmas party where the famous dance with team mate Thierry Henry was conceived.

"It was at Gilberto's house. It wasn't even a fancy dress party, but there was Eboue, dressed as a tiger – with a tail and everything – waiting for me behind the door.

"When I arrived, he made a big noise like a tiger roaring. For a moment I was in a big panic but then I saw him and I thought, Oh it's only Eboue…'."
