Christopher Samba | Speaker Biography

About Christopher Samba

Former professional footballer for Blackburn Rovers
Played for Congo national team
Advocate against racial discrimination in football
Christopher Samba, a former professional footballer, enjoyed a successful career playing as both a defender and a striker. He represented teams such as Blackburn Rovers, the Congo national team, Aston Villa, and Anzhi Makhachkala. Samba was widely recognized for his strong leadership, speed, aerial ability, and versatility, making him an invaluable member of the Blackburn Rovers squad. In 2009, Samba signed a new five-year contract with Blackburn Rovers, further solidifying his position in the team. He even captained a game despite the presence of the club captain and vice-captain on the field. However, seeking new challenges, he decided to transfer to Anzhi Makhachkala in 2012, signing a four-year deal worth approximately £12.3 million. The following year, he joined Queens Park Rangers for a reported fee of £12.5 million, much to the delight of manager Harry Redknapp. Samba's journey continued in 2017 when he joined Aston Villa on a one-year contract. He scored his first goal for the team in a 2-1 defeat against Sheffield Wednesday. In addition to his on-field accomplishments, Samba is also known for an incident of racial discrimination that took place during his time at Anzhi Makhachkala. This incident ignited a broader conversation about discrimination in football, and Samba has since become a passionate advocate, sharing his personal experiences on the issue. As an event host, Samba offers valuable insights into the life of a professional footballer, including handling pressure, achieving success, and fostering teamwork. Chris covers various topics during his appearances, including football, racism in sports, managing pressure, and achieving maximum success.
