Nummer 1: George Oppong Weah – Liberia

GettyImages-480759078

Der er George Weah, og så er der de andre. Weah blev kåret til Afrikas historisk set bedste fodboldspiller, og dét med god grund.

Weah var ikke som de fleste andre fodboldspillere. Han var noget helt unikt. I en klasse for sig selv. Med både fart, styrke og teknik, tog tingene altid en uventet drejning, når han var på banen.

Han vandaliserede det ene forsvar efter det andet, som lå søvnløse om natten, efter at have mødt Weah i hopla.

Weah donerede ligesom Abedi Pele mange penge til de liberianske fodboldskoler, så vi kan håbe, at der en eller anden dag, kommer noget frugtbart ud af Liberia som fodboldland.

Afrikas bedste uden tvivl.
