The Resume

    (March 11, 1978- )
    Born in Abidjan, Cote D'Ivoire (Ivory Coast)
    Center striker for Le Mans Union Club 72 (1997–2002), En Avant Guingamp (2002–2003), Olympique de Marseille, (2003–2004), Chelsea FC (2004– )and Cote d’Ivoire national World Cup soccer team (2002– )

Why he might be annoying:

    On the advice of his uncle, a local footballer, his parents sent him off at age five all alone.
    His childhood nickname was ‘Tito.’
    At 24 million pounds, his contract with Chelsea made him the highest-paid player from his home nation.
    ‘I love England. If only my son (Isaac, a fan of Thierry Henry) wouldn’t wear an Arsenal shirt.’
    He hates the English style of footie as opposed to the French style (‘part of the problem is that challenges that are penalized in France are OK here’).

Why he might not be annoying:

    He regards Nelson Mandela as an inspiration.
    If he didn’t become a soccer player, he planned to go into medicine.
    Following a Champions League game, he gave his entire Chelsea bag to a man sleeping on the street wearing almost nothing.
    Having qualified for the 2006 World Cup, he was instrumental in ending the five-year Cote d’Ivoire civil war with a simple plea.
    He thinks his three children are better English speakers than he is.
    A one-liter bottle of Bock and an Abdijan street were renamed in his honor.
