The African continent has been blessed with many great footballers. It will be somewhat difficult to pick the greatest among them. But, here is a short list of African great footballers: Samuel Eto'o He was a prolific goalscorer, and a four times African player of the year. He won three UEFA Champions League title.

Gobengroup: roger Milla with Cameroon has shined a brighter light on Africa than any of the other above players. he "single-handedly" showed African football to the world (before then, nobody even knew about African football) and no other African country has ever done remotely what Cameroon did in 1990 (beating Argentina who were WC holder and who went to the final that year). 2 other African team have reached the quarter final of the WC after Cameroon, Ghana and Senegal. so as much as the above mentioned players did a great job in their local team (when surrounded by foreign players), Roger Milla did better than any of them with his national team (aka Africa)... thus my choice for African greatest player. |
