Biography

 

Career in the Côte d'Ivoire

 

Touré did not own a pair of his own football boots until he was at the age of 15 often playing bare footed but he was soon discovered in the Côte d'Ivoire and was a scholar at the Abidjan football school run by Jean-Marc Guillou. Touré established himself as a player for leading African club ASEC Mimosas. He earned his first full international cap for the Côte d'Ivoire at the age of 19 in 2000. Kolo Toure was born in Mogadishu, Somalia. His mum is from the Ivory Coast and his dad is from Somalia

Just a wishful thinking from a Nomad, I guess. Wonder why wikipedia didn't attach a doubting sign to that article.

^Well - it's actually proper editing in this case. At the beginning of the article it says:

 

'Kolo Habib Touré (born March 19, 1981 in Bouake, Côte d'Ivoire), is an Ivorian footballer who plays for Arsenal. Touré is renowned for his pace, strength and athleticism.'

 

Then later on it says:

 

'Kolo Toure was born in Mogadishu, Somalia. His mum is from the Ivory Coast and his dad is from Somalia'

 

I think the first entry is prolly right. I can't imagine a Somali dad calling his son Kolo.

I think the line between imagination and reality has vanished
