  1. His full name is Emmanuel Ake Richard Muttendango
  2. He was born on 11 June 1980 in Mombasa
  3. Ake’s mother is from Kenya, and his father from Seychelles.
  4. He started his senior career with Black Panther in the Coast Provincial League (3rd level in Kenya). He then moved to Mombasa-based Coast Stars in the Kenyan Premier League.
  5. A Dutch tourist and his son met his mother in Kenya and found out about his football-skills. In Kenya he wouldn’t be able to get a living out of playing football. The Dutchman tried to give him a future and arranged a temporarily Visa for Ake and invited him over to the Netherlands, to stay with them and to play a test match with FC Oss
  6. After unsuccessful trials in Netherlands he left the guest-family and travelled to his father in Denmark.[1]
  7. As a 20-year-old, Ake was signed by Akademisk Boldklub, where he spent four seasons from 2000 to 2004
  8. He has spent the past ten seasons playing for different clubs in Denmark.
  9. On 1 February 2012 he agreed to play at Danish 2nd Division club Svebølle B&I, because the club was managed by his old team mate but he was denied a working permit for Denmark and was forced to leave the country only a month after signing with Svebølle.
  10. He scored the third goal against Burkina Faso, earning Kenya its first-ever win at the Nations Cup.
