Georges Parfait Mbida Messi (born 8 December 1980) is a Cameroonian former professional footballer who played as a midfielder.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Yaoundé, Messi started playing with his hometown clubs Tonnerre Yaoundé and Canon Yaoundé, having a spell abroad in between with Çaykur Rizespor. He appeared scarcely during the 2000–01 season, as the Turkish Süper Lig team finished in ninth position.

Subsequently, Messi represented K.S.C. Lokeren Oost-Vlaanderen in Belgium, but featured very rarely for the Pro League side. After a few months in Qatar, he moved to Portugal and signed for S.C. Olhanense of the Segunda Liga,[2] appearing in an average of 12 games in his first two seasons.[3][4]

Messi had one of the best years as a professional in the 2008–09 campaign, scoring twice[5][6] in 27 matches – mainly as a substitute – as the Algarve club returned to the Primeira Liga after 34 years.[7] In January 2010, he left Olhanense and joined G.D. Interclube in Angola,[8] with the Luanda-based team winning the Girabola championship shortly after.[9]
