Best ever African footballer?

[Forzabear1872]

George Weah

 

[Bumplittledipper]

Cristiano Ronaldo - born in Madeira. It’s off the coast of Africa so I’m going for him.

Diego Maradona. He is from Argentina where they speak Spanish. Part of Spain is The Canary Islands which is off the coast of Africa so I am going for him.

Weah

Nigerian international buddy. It's like saying Laudrup is a proud Austrian.

People saying salah , are we counting Egypt as Africa ? I always think of Egypt more Middle East even if I’m wrong geographically

Proper African player it has to be Weah . Eusebio if he’s allowed .

Salah not black enough to be a proper African LOL

It’s Drogba, then Eto

I would put Drogba at his best in the Batistuta category in terms of brilliance, which is saying something.
