After starting his career in his home country of Liberia, Arsene Wenger brought him to Europe where he signed for Monaco in 1988.

*. Weah moved to Paris Saint German in 1992 where he won Ligue 1 in 1994 and became the top scorer of the 1994-95 UEFA Champions League.

*. He signed for AC Milan in 1995 where he spent four successful seasons, and won the Italian Serie A, twice. His most notable goal in Italy saw him run the length of the field against Verona.

*.He moved to the English Premier League towards the end of his career and had spells at Chelsea and Manchester City, before returning to France to play for Marseille in 2001, and subsequently ending his career with Al-Jazira in 2003.

*. At international level, he represented Liberia at the African Cup of Nations on two occasions.

*. An idol in Africa, Weah has been heavily involved in politics in his homeland Liberia and ran unsuccessfully for president in the 2005 elections, losing to Ellen Johnson Sirleaf in the second round of voting.

*. In the 2011 election, he ran for vice president on Winston Tubman’s ticket. Running as a Congress for Democratic Change candidate, Weah was elected to the senate in 2014.

*. As successful as he was at club level, Weah was not able to bring over that success to the Liberia National Team. In total, Weah played 60 games for Liberia over 20 years, scoring 22 goals.

*. Along with all-time greats in the sport such as Alfredo Di Stefano and George Best, Weah is regarded as being among the best football players who never got the chance to play at a World Cup.

*. Upon official announcement, George Weah will be the only retired professional footballer to emerge as the President of a country.

LEGEND!

His persistence paid of. I look forward to Messi becoming the President of his country in the future too


One of the worst tragedy that could ever befall a man is not getting a single job invite in 2017... Now, 2018 is just by the corner, will you still adopt the same approach that has not worked for you? My signature offers you that unbelievable succour.

So. . .The writer deliberately decided to ignore the FACT that he is the FIRST and ONLY footballer in Africa to win the FIFA World Best player award?

Obviously, he is an American

I want to plead with every meaningful Nigerian. It's not about APC or PDP. But it's about our future and that of our kids.

Pls If APC can not present another person as its presidential candidate in 2018 order than Buhari, I don't care where the person comes from, East, west or North or south. Pls lets make sure Buhari is voted out.

Just imagine how 8 yrs would be under Buhari. Hardship and suffering. God forbid.
I beg any good and petriotic Nigerian to reason beyond party, religious and ethnic lines.

People are suffering under this administration. That you are privileged to still be with your job or come from a rich home, Eating what you desire to eat everyday does not mean people are not suffering.

Pls lets reason beyond party, religious and ethnic lines and save ourselves and our kids from impending doom and hardship.

What we need is reforms, good leadership and good governance. Don't tell me nations who are successful today suffered as they do the right thing. Noo! Ghana, china, Singapore and many more didn't suffer as they reform and shape their nations into what we envy today. Rather the good leaders they had at the time put up reforms and policies that brought instant and visible progress that accumulated over time. They never suffered as these progress accumulated and became more visible and tangible.

All we need is reforms and good governance not suffering in the name of getting things right.

Where is okocha when u need him
