Trabzon Storm signs Galatasaray defender Song
Galatasaray’s Cameroon central defender Rigobert Song has joined the Trabzon Black Sea Storm. According to a report posted on the Trabzonspor official Web site, club General Manager Mahmut Aksu traveled to France, where he completed the transfer deal with Song.
The report further said Song signed a two-year deal with the Black Sea side after both sides reached agreement on all aspects.
Prior to joining Galatasaray in 2004, Song had been all over the place. He played for Metz, Salernitana, Liverpool, West Ham, Cologne and Lens. The 32-year-old Song became an instant fan favorite after his transfer to Galatasaray and formed a strong defensive partnership with Croat Stepjan Tomas at the heart of the defense.
During the 2006-2007 season, he struggled to find a place in the team after an altercation with then-Galatasaray Belgian coach Eric Gerets during a Turkcell Super League game. Although Song apologized for the incident both publicly and privately, Gerets did not back down and the player remained punished. With the arrival of septuagenarian German coach Karl-Heinz Feldkamp, Song once again became a vital member of the squad. But the emergence of young Turkey international Emre Güngör as a solid defender for Galatasaray pushed Song to the bench in the second half of the 2007-08 season.
A key player for the Cameroonian national team for over a decade, Song played in the 1994, 1998 and 2002 World Cups. He is their most capped player ever. Apart from retired French star Zinedine Zidane, Song is the only player to have been sent off in two different World Cup tournaments -- against Brazil in 1994 and Chile in 1998. He also holds the record as youngest player ever to be sent off in a World Cup, aged 17.
Song`s father, Paul Song, died when Rigobert was young. Hence, he never really knew his father but nevertheless dedicates all his success to him. Song has three children (a son and two daughters). His nephew, Alexandre Song, is a defender for English Premiership side Arsenal.
