Drogba and Eboue facing Fines for Paying Tributes to Nelson Mandela In Turkey!

Culled From DailyMail

Didier Drogba and Emmanuel Eboue face
fines from the Turkish FA after displaying
vests bearing tributes to Nelson Mandela.
The two Ivory Coast internationals unveiled
their personal messages after Galatasaray’s
game against Elazigspor on Friday, their first game after the death of South African icon
Mandela.

Chelsea legend Drogba peeled off his shirt at
the 2-0 win to reveal a tribute which said:
'Thank you Madiba' and former Arsenal
defender Eboue’s vest said: 'Rest in Peace Nelson Mandela'.

The Turkish FA (TFF) are planning to summon the Galatasaray pair to appear before the Professional Football Discipline Committee because they had not sought prior permission to display their messages.

It is in contrast to England where games this weekend have been preceded by a minute of applause in celebration of Mandela’s life and his role in ending apartheid in South Africa and transforming the international profile of Africa.
