Tributes paid as former Celtic star dies aged 38 following tragic car accident
Following his death in a car accident in his home Cameroon, former Celtic player Landry Nguemo has received
tributes from the football community.
Prior to the 2009–10 season, the 38-year-old joined the Hoops on loan from Nancy and made 43 appearances,
playing under both Tony Mowbray and Neil Lennon.
In addition to earning 41 caps for Cameroon, he was honoured to represent his nation in two World Cups: the 2010
edition in South Africa and the 2014 edition in Brazil.
Nguemo will be recognised for his contributions to football. He was a vital part of Girondins de Bordeaux and the
Cameroonian national team from 2006 to 2014.
“The entire football community, along with his family and friends, receives our sincere condolences,” said
FECAFOOT.
“Everyone at Celtic Football Club is shocked and saddened at the news of Landry Nguemo’s passing at the young age
of 38,” the team said in a statement. Celtic then paid homage of their own.
At this difficult moment, Landry’s family and friends are in everyone at Celtic Football Club’s thoughts and prayers.
