Defensive midfielder Landry N’Guemo is one of the more experienced players in the Cameroon squad, having started playing international football when he represented his country at the FIFA U-17 World Cup Finland 2003.

He was also in the Cameroon squad at the 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa™, and he played four matches in the qualifiers for Brazil. He also has the experience of having been in the Cameroon squad at the 2008 and 2010 CAF Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.

Serving his apprenticeship with Nancy, the diminutive N’Guemo quickly adapted to life in Ligue 1, enjoying several first-team outings before turning 20 and also running out in the UEFA Cup.

At the end of the 2008/09 season, during which he played 33 league games for Nancy and five UEFA Cup matches, he signed for Celtic on loan.

He played for the Scottish heavyweights in the UEFA Champions League qualifiers and featured in 33 league games for them during the season, at the end of which Celtic were keen to sign him.

However, they could not reach an agreement with Nancy and he returned to the club before moving to Bordeaux, where he has spent the past three seasons.

NGuémo is a keen falconer and keeps a modest collection of birds of prey, with his favourite, a white-tailed eagle named Mr George after George Weah.
