Manchester City’s Yaya Toure has been named as the BBC African Footballer of the Year on the back of a glorious year for his country, Ivory Coast. BBC Africa confirmed the 32-year-old had triumphed for the second successive year, becoming only the third player in history to win the award twice after Nigeria’s Jay-Jay Okocha and Nwankwo Kanu.
Yaya Toure told the BBC's Peter Okwoche that winning the BBC African Footballer of the Year Award again was "unbelievable".
He added that one of the only other people to have won the honour twice, Jay-Jay Okocha, was "always giving me good advice".
