George Weah is the greatest African player ever imo. Sure other players have greater and more substantial trophy hauls but , as you stated, Weah was the patriarch of the modern day (One man army) striker..He gave birth to the R9's, Torres's, Drogba's etc.. of this world..Solo strikers that could occupy an entire back 4. And the fact that a player from Liberia won the Balon D'or is still mind blowing..What a gem of a striker he was.
I was very fortunate to have met him in his twilight. We played a friendly. I was a goalkeeper. The Liberian team won; Georgia Wesh scored two goals. The pictures we took together are some of my prizes posession. Good luck to George Weah and Liberia!!
Weah was also a huge influence on Thierry Henry at Arsenal. There is an interview Henry did with Rio Ferdinand where Henry explains the huge influence Weah had on him. He singles out Ronaldo Fenomeno and Weah as players who changed the role of the striker.
George used to pay for all the expenses for the Liberian National team just so the national team can represent Liberia in African competitions because the Liberian FA was joke
FIFA paid most of the Liberian expenses cus they were in crisis. Secondly, he was reimbursed whenever he used his own money. I am still proud of him for his initiative
I loved this video. Thank you. Its a small thing but I also like the way you pronounce Liberia. Weah retains iconic status in Liberia (that's one reason he is President) and in Africa too. To have started were he did- on the streets of a country not well known for its football in late 80s/early 90s, and risen to play for Monaco, PSG and Milan speaks volumes about how exceptional he was compared to his peers as well as his mentality. Remember the name- George Oppong Weah!!!
Grew up watching George Weah and admiring his power and go getter attitude, if that wasn't enough, he gave us Timo Weah on his way to becoming a super star. Such an inspiring player, I get emotional watching George Weah videos.
Dazza nope, weah won ballon d or doesnt mean he is the best. Drgoba and etoo had a better skill and goal ratio, and won more trophy than weah. Even at his best season in milan he is only had 0.41 goal/game ratio People rated weah more, because he won ballon d or
@@bogeythedog163 they played different positions, Weahs job was to score goals Messis and every guy who wears the number 10s job is to create goal oppoortunities and when there is a chance score goals also
Hey guys about the Andy Carroll surprise appearance, I do know he is not Mark Hateley 😂😂. My girlfriend has been helping me out with the videos cuz I haven't had much time lately and though she is learning it will still take some more time before she learns the difference. I don't know how I missed it when I reviewed what she had done but still it is pretty funny you gotta give her that 😂😂😂
I heard an IDIOT on a podcast saying Sadio Manè is the best African player this far lol. Imagine prime Weah playing in this age against these so called elite defenders lol. Weah would score 50 prem goals a season
@@mohauntamane4657 africas best player and the greatest to come out of africa is different , he never represented africa and therefore this isnt an african player.
He was brilliant. Read baresi's and maldini's thoughts on him. Two of the greatest defenders of all time who didn't resort to ramos style tactics but actually defend. Also read up on what wenger had to say about him
Weah was great indeed, best in the world, at his peak. But actually, Ronaldo is Brazilian, so South-American. And Eusebio, who is African born and raised, in Mozambique, is ranked 23th all time best players in the world (yes he played his career in Europe, and represented Portugal because it was his nationality. As this is, may we assume that Eusebio is the best African player ever?
He also after football decided to go back to school and bagged himself a degree as he knew long term he will need the academic prowess to have a chance in politics. He is one of the greatest strikers I have ever seen. Awesome player.
GREATEST FOOTBALLER EVER FOR AFRICAN PLAYER LIBERIA AND AC MILAN.HUMBLE PERSON AND HELPING POOR PEOPLE BECOMING TO POLITIC AND BECOME PRESIDENT FOR LIBERIA.HE WILL NEVER FORGET HIS CONTRIBUTION IN FOOTBALL AND FOR HIS COUNTRY..HE WAS STUGGLE LOT OF DIFFICULTY TO BECOME FOOTBALLER WITH FROM POOR COUNTRY.HE WELL DESERVE HALL OF FAME FOR AC MILAN AND LIBERIA NATIONAL TEAM.
You guys are exagerating about weah. he did not win any european cup. never won any mvp at any major tournament. . his best in europe was at psg. how is he the greatest african, is it because of ballon dor.. please give me weah stats that gave him the ballon dor. if it is because of fair play that makes him to win the ballon dor i will agree. but his stats are very poor. What can an african child remember weah for on the continent that makes him the greatest.. two nations cup and a single goal, did not cross the first round and had a poor european career with milan.. Weah was good do not get me wrong but very lucky.. h e never won any European league golden shoe
Keep it up kid. I'm not sure about the rating system at the end but I'm not mad at it. I feel like there are soo many iconic players that you can not only review their careers but also give your sincere opinion rather than rate their skills Keep the videos coming and find your own style
Before there was the Phenomenon Ronaldo from Brazil. George Weah Ruled football he is absolutely unbreakable and unbelievable a true legend. He is the level of genius to aspire to. I just watched him now watching his son in the world cup against England. It's so great that he is President now. Wow what a legend if he was born in Europe everyone would know him as a legend.
One of the greatest. Why do we bother with this GOAT. He was a player, amongst many that were brilliant at their time and in their position. They brought joy to the fans,and excelled in their job. Accept that they were great. End of story.
He is the best African player of all time in the world and Africa and Liberia 🇱🇷. We love him.maybe some Liberian will not love him because of politics. For me I love him. And I voted him.🗳 I love him because he very much courageous and motivated person. Anytime I see him my motivation and courage grow more and more. Do you think it easy for African to come from no where to win such titles? And be the best. Especially when racism was all around then today. 🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷🇱🇷 I am in Liberian I live now in Europe. God bless George Weah and our country Liberia 🇱🇷🙏🏾🙌🏾.
I feel like people overuse the word "underrated" nowadays and use it quite liberally on everything they think is important. No, Hagi is not underrated. People who know football recognize him and he is a God in Romania.
I am from Liberia and proud fan of George Weah. I love your presentation bro, great video and well done. In my opinion if you are judging Weah by his Stats, such as, goals and trophies he wouldn't even be in the top fifty players of all time. For example, Yaya Toure will be consider great a player than George in Africa, because Yaya has won four time African player of the year, champion league, African cup of nation and play in the world three time. But during George Weah era, players were rate base on the moment fans were waiting for. Moment where fans will say wow and George was one of those player who could grace the occasion when fans and team needed it to happen. Compare to players who play with better team or alongside skilful player as a result they score goals upon goals that the fans don't even feel the impact anymore. But when it come to big game they don't shine, they only shine in non important or small game. George was awarded these awards base on fans reactions not statistics, similar to thing you mention, he was physical, skilful, hungry when team needed to win, score important goals and give assist when needed. Therefore, trophy winning depends on squad quality. Therefore, trophies wining shouldn't be use to for his rating. He did not play world cup and did not perform well in the African cup of nation because he was on a national team that was below average. However, he is consider Africa's great not because of his score goals records but the feeling fans wanted he always provided it in crusher games. During Era there were too many great talents and strong football compare to this generation where football look a joke! soft football, average players, from defenders, modifiers to strikers. as a result the few super talents shine too bright.
I’m a Liberian & this is our black diamond of Africa. The one & only African player that won the world best in the world & Africa. Thought, white men, highly talk about him in the world of football, since his retirement from football. But they always talks about their past Europeans & South American players up to date but not Africa world best Georage Weah & our past best African players. Indeed, we’re proud of him in Liberia & Africa as well.
He was really an icon. your rating shouldn't be poor. Since trophy winning depends on squad quality... you shouldn't keep trophys to the your rating. for instance player like Bergkamp would never get a good quote/rating But many thanks for doing joints like this... there should be moree african or south american players like "marcelinho carioca" or "Anthony Yeboah"

I have a suggestion to grow this amazing channel, how bout u make a new series that compare football players example, sancho vs mbappe, hazard vs neymar, robben vs ribery etc. u could also make videos that explain a young players potential like '' How high can haalands ceiling truly be?'' and stuff like that. Good luck!
George weah is not the best African player of all times. That's a fact. Etoo club statistics beats weah. Ballon d or is a popularity contest. He's hasn't played in a common mere nation's cup. It's a disrespect to African players who actually played in African continental football to name someone who played football in a less competitive Era, their best player, for winning a popular contest balon d or. It's total disrespect. Etoo played in a tougher Era, and won alot more than weah. At club level and international. Etoo took a relegated team mayorca to win a Copa d ray. Being their all-time greatest scorer to this day. Did weah play for a relegated team and win them a major club trophy? ??
Imagine - I was in Moss side Manchester. I was attending a Funeral. So I popped out the reception and when to a nearby shop ! As I walked past a few shop, I noticed this guy coming towards me - I looked him straight in the face 🤔 I know you ! . I said to him , then he smiled. I realized who it was then - it was George Weah lol who played for Man city. I just carried on walking, with a smile 😊 on my face .
@@Vera150607Yeah...Nigeria has a stacked offense.... but African teams overall lack elite defenders and Goalkeepers....the reason why they never reach a world cup finale. Their weakness lays in defense and discipline when it comes to the big games in big tournaments...

Back in the mid to late 90s, the Italian league was ridiculous. Milan dominated in Europe, and both Juve and Inter were excellent. Often, the top scorers of the division would finish with around 15 goals; defenses were that good. All that being said, Weah was the best player in the league for a couple of seasons. Before R9, this guy was unplayable.
Goal v Verona. Legend already. My favourite striker of last 20 years. Underrated by those who don’t know. Adored by those that do. Great vid. Weah should get another 10 points as reparations for what West Africa suffered as a result of European colonialism and the slave trade. Unbelievable player who lit up the pitch. I’ve seen him live in his prime and he was up their with fat Ronaldo in his prime.
Criminal underrated, the media didn't pay so much attention to him, Henry played alongside him. he was an exceptional he said and trust me Henry has played with many good talents and george wheah was one of them.
@@StewartEvans52 yeah, no doubt. I think that george wheah was On pirme with Ronaldo, the Original Ronaldo, just that he dident Had the same abilety as him. Remember that wheah dident Had world class players as r9. On the national team.
You put CR7 at No1,Ronaldinho at No8 and remove Ronaldo Nazarrio(R9), Zidane and Messi all together, yet the likes of Tevez,John Terry, Lampard and Alonso made it to the list so how how did you came up with that list?????
After that I regretted watching the whole video. Clearly he doesn't understand much of the subject of his own video. CR7 above Maradona... what a non-sense!
He only makes the list based on players he has made a video on dumbass. Messi, R9 and Zidane hasn’t had a video made on their respective careers yet. If you paid the slightest attention to how this channel works you would realise that 🤡
Klose next please i've posted a very long comment under your George Best vid, just look there for what is my perspective on him.Do you have a title suggestion?
F*** that you will never ever see another soccer player like George weah he was damn near super human it was scary how fast he moved and how quick he react his game was clean cut he didn't needed to do no fancy tricks to me my opinion he's the best that ever played the game so all hail to King George first of his name ruler of the pitch and king of word soccer
Could you imagine (assuming I've got my timescales correct) if he had joined Barcelona or Inter Milan instead of AC Milan and eventually paired up with R9?... There's a dream pairing if I ever heard of one

That goal against Bayern for PSG 💥
Great video mate, you should get more recognition. Where do you get the footage from?
was waiting for this particular one
Bro your voice the story and all about it just makes me cry!!!
You put CR7 at No1,Ronaldinho at No8 and remove Ronaldo Nazarrio(R9), Zidane and Messi all together, yet the likes of Tevez,John Terry, Lampard and Alonso made it to the list so how how did you came up with that list?????
After that I regretted watching the whole video. Clearly he doesn't understand much of the subject of his own video.
CR7 above Maradona... what a non-sense!
He only makes the list based on players he has made a video on dumbass. Messi, R9 and Zidane hasn’t had a video made on their respective careers yet. If you paid the slightest attention to how this channel works you would realise that 🤡
@@podgar Ronaldo clears Maradona
God will george for this kind of documentary

Can you do a video about Lucas Radebe - the South African player that has a statue at Leeds United?
SUPER LUCAS RADEBE, MOST UNDERRATED DEFENDER EVER!
F*** that you will never ever see another soccer player like George weah he was damn near super human it was scary how fast he moved and how quick he react his game was clean cut he didn't needed to do no fancy tricks to me my opinion he's the best that ever played the game so all hail to King George first of his name ruler of the pitch and king of word soccer
It's underrated to give to him Balon dor winner. It's really huge bribery that day in eufa.
Much respect
He was awesome, best African player ever. What a time to be alive the 80's and 90's.....

He's an African legend
Could you imagine (assuming I've got my timescales correct) if he had joined Barcelona or Inter Milan instead of AC Milan and eventually paired up with R9?... There's a dream pairing if I ever heard of one
Undesputed African King of football.
Peace...love.. unity. George weah now Liberia's president
And his son Timothy Weah is now pretty decent, plays for Lillie and the USA National Team
Seems like he was quite a powerful and dynamic player
