Milla deceives his former club

YAOUNDE (Reuter): Cameroon World Cup soccer hero Roger Milla's former club have accused him of cheating them out of a transfer fee when he left for Indonesian side Pelita Jaya.

"Roger Milla deceived us," Essomba Eyenga, Tonnerre Kalara Club de Yaounde's administrative and financial director said.

Eyenga said Milla's contract still had a year to run and the Yaounde first division club was claiming at least 50 million CFA francs (US$95,000) in transfer fees.

Cameroon soccer officials said Milla told Tonnerre he was going to Indonesia as a coach, not as a player and obtained a release letter to that effect.
