Person
Georges Messi
From Wikipedia
Georges Parfait Mbida Messi (born 8 December 1980) is a Cameroonian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.
Club career
Born in Yaoundé, Messi started playing with his hometown clubs Tonnerre Yaoundé and Canon Yaoundé, having a spell abroad in between with Çaykur Rizespor. He appeared scarcely during the 2000–01 season, as the Turkish Süper Lig team finished in ninth position.
Subsequently, Messi represented K.S.C. Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen in Belgium, but featured very rarely for the Pro League side. After a few months in Qatar, he moved to Portugal and signed for S.C. Olhanense of the Segunda Liga, appearing in an average of 12 games in his first two seasons.
Messi had one of the best years as a professional in the 2008–09 campaign, scoring twice in 27 matches – mainly as a substitute – as the Algarve club returned to the Primeira Liga after 34 years. In January 2010, he left Olhanense and joined G.D. Interclube in Angola, with the Luanda-based team winning the Girabola championship shortly after.
