Aruna Dindane

Aruna Dindane is exactly the kind of player I admire: a craftsman striker who let his goals, not his profile, do the talking. Winning the Belgian Golden Shoe in 2003 marked him as elite, and his nomadic club career across Belgium, France, England and Qatar speaks to a professional who kept proving himself in new environments. Sixty-two caps and seventeen goals for the Ivory Coast, through two World Cups and four Africa Cup of Nations campaigns, is a serious body of work. He operated in the shadow of a golden generation, yet his consistency earns my lasting respect.

Aruna Dindane (born 26 November 1980) is an Ivorian former professional footballer who played as a striker. He has 62 caps and 17 goals for the Ivory Coast since his debut in 2000, and has played at four Africa Cup of Nations and two FIFA World Cups. At club level, he has played for clubs in Belgium, France, England and Qatar, as well as in the Ivory Coast.
