After former Arsenal star Emmanuel Eboue revealed how he lost almost all his life earnings to and went from riches to rags recently, many fans are shocked and are trying to lift his spirit.
The Ivory Coast international had revealed that he needs prayers as he is on the verge of taking his own life.
The 34-year-old narrated to the Mirror his heartbreaking story of financial misfortune, mostly pointing the finger at his estranged wife Aurelie and his own naivety.
Eboue said he lost all his money to Aurelie, who he claimed also handled his finances, in their divorce settlement and has been ordered to also give up his house in London to the ex-wife.
But his fans are trying hard on Twitter to lift his spirit after the story came out about 24 hours ago. A GoFundMe account was even launched for him.
Here are some of such tweets.
Emmanuel Eboue's "RAGS to RICHES to RAGS" story is pathetic. His wife took advantage of his lack of education to skin him off his hard earned wealth. She also has legal custody of their Children. A £ millionaire is now dead broke. Women are dangerous. pic.twitter.com/K4B0diopmh

This Eboue's story is a sad one. I feel for him.
Someone that reached UCL & AFCON finals. Earned €8m in turkey.
Now his ex-wife won custody of their kids & control of all his assets. He's gone broke, sleeps on the floor of his friend's house & can't afford a washing machine.
