Funfact
On 2007, When Arsenal FC Visited Buckingham Palace To Met Queen Elizabeth II, Eboue Told The Queen That He Want To Football To Cares For Her Dogs.
When the team entered the palace awaiting the Queen, Thierry Henry Who was leading the delegation said to Eboue
"Please, Emmanuel, this is Buckingham Palace, it’s the Queen’s house, don’t do anything.’
"No problem,’ I said. ‘Don’t worry.’ So the Queen came in and went along shaking each player’s hand.
“After she’d finished I saw all her corgis so I said, ‘Ma’am, Ma’am’.
“She turned back and asked, ‘How are you?’ and I said, ‘Ma’am, I am OK thank you but, please, I don’t want to be a footballer anymore"
I want to look after your dogs. I want to take them for walks, wash them, feed them. I want to be a dog carer.’
“The Queen, honestly, she was laughing. Prince Philip was laughing, too. All the team were laughing.”
It’s still unclear as to whether Eboue was joking, but there have been plenty of his ex-teammates who recall him being the dressing room jester during his time at the Gunners"
