@@liberatedentrepreneur149depends on how you define 'greatest', in my opinion George is greater than, say, CR: greater human being in general on top of being a phenomenal player.
He actually has 2 sons who plays for USA, I can’t remember the younger one’s first name. But when you realize Liberia is a country founded with the help of America to “help” former slave families return to Africa, their claim of American citizenship isn’t really that surprising There is a reason the Liberian flag 🇱🇷 and the American flag 🇺🇸 is basically the same.
Imagine George Weah being born in France, Belgium, Sweden, Holland, Germany or similar countries... imagine this raw talent getting the best training, the best training grounds, the best football education... this guy could have been the goat
My uncle, who was sudanese was going to play pro for Al-Hilal Sudan. However, his parents told him to go to university and become an accountant because football in Sudan didn't pay well. He listened to his parents and didn't sign the contract, but he said he would have never made it that far without the inspiration of george weah.

Nobody that mention African football ever mention Larbi BenBarek the original black pearl. Even Pele in his prime was told by journalist that he is considered as king of football and his response was "if I'm king of football then BenBarek is GOD" Saying this doesn't take anything from the legend of George Weah. A lot of respect for what he accomplished as footballer and now as president.
True my man, there are always the predecessors that pave the way for more to do the same. Still doesn't take anything away from what they've contributed! legends
His the first African player to play in Europe. Olympique Marseille and stade français late 30s then Athletico Madrid winning two league titles with them before going back to Olympique Marseille at the age of 37 (at a time where players longevity was very short) He retired at the age of 41
Many players of African origin are so beloved: Weah himself, Alphonso Davies, Mo Salah, N’Golo Kanté, etc… because of their attitude on and off the pitch. That’s what separates a good player from an iconic player.
The ballon d’or cemented his place for me I mean damn he played for some of the biggest clubs and his humanitarian efforts off the field were nothing showed his class even more…salute to the African legend George Weah 👌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥 🐐
Idk if the video mentioned but unfortunately he didn't deserve the balondor at all. He was only given it because it was the first year Africans could win it. A great player but someone like Eto is a lot better
Technically, Eusebio is the first African player to win the BO, as he was born in Mozambique 🇲🇿. Eusebio is also the first black player and first Portuguese 🇵🇹 player to win the BO. He's also the original Black Panther. The King of Wakanda bows to Rei Eusebio.
There are several African players, i Remember Eusébio, it played for Portugal, Moçambique was Portugal at that time. Portugal still have players that born in Africa, like France, etc
I’m proud to be a born Liberian and the same tribe as President George M Weah. Kru tribe. I remember every young kid in our village popo beach negeol had participated in sports. I did cross country, track N fields
Hey Raymar, can you try making a video about the 94/95 ucl winning Ajax squad? It was stacked with legends like seedorf, van der sar, frank de boer, rijkaard, edgar davids, overmars, kluivert, and ofc Litmanen who was the best among them that time but isn't remembered as much now. Also they were even coached by Van Gaal. I personally see them as among the top 5 best ucl squads of all time.
I saw him play and score in Padova, Italy (when he was with AC Milan). He was awesome, and there were many other great players, too (such as Pirlo and Roberto Baggio [my childhood idol], who almost scored a header and, I believe, provided the assist to Weah). Baresi (the legendary defender) scored the winning goal in that match. Incredible memories. :)
First African to win the Ballon D’or representing an African nation, but we can’t forget about Eusebio born in Mozambique which was a Portuguese colony.
@@dagotowka9191Eto’o should have won it too in his era Weah won it in 1995 and came second in 1996 Eto’o have only been name 3 and it was once in his life time
Hey Liberian here, great video but I want to point out a couple things He was not from a village lol He's from Clara town, a community that's in the capital city of Liberia. I live in that community currently and sadly, it is still underdeveloped....
I'll never forget that fabulous solo goal against Verona in which Weah barely looked like he was breaking a sweat while frolicking through the entire opposition backline. It typified his class, bluster and frightening individual ability: do you know how difficult that was to do in 1990s Italy?
Raymar, how about a video for Johnathan David becoming Lille FC all time leading goal scorer in the 21st century. He has had a fantastic season and is very underrated
I'm a Liberian & watched Weah playing in the 80s to the 90s, for points of correction, Weah didn't play for Mighty Barrolle, instead he did played for invisible Eleven (I.E.) from there he joint the nation team of Liberia.
I’ve been an avid watcher of Raymar for 4 years now and I have always wondered why there has been some time skips in the video like at the part u where gonna talk about weah goal it just cut I thought it was a me thing but it tend to happen in most of the videos I watch from him just wondering if it’s just me

Do one on beckenbauer; the only defender to win 2 ballon d'ors, he also won everything with his club and nation
One of 2 defenders to win the ballon d’or aswell
As an arsenal fan i am proud that Arsene Wenger had enough faith on him to take him to europe! ♥️
I'm a Liberian, thank you for making this video on this underrated icon🙌🏾🙌🏾
so happy to hear about the african continent linked to football! 😊
The ballon d’or cemented his place for me I mean damn he played for some of the biggest clubs and his humanitarian efforts off the field were nothing showed his class even more…salute to the African legend George Weah 👌🏾🔥🔥🔥🔥 🐐
But in 1995 was shocking. I was 100 % sure that Jurgen Klinsmann won
Would love to hear about Rui Costa... didn't saw much of him but some say he could've been or even, WAS better than Zidane. Much Love Raymar :3
Thanks for the video I am actually watching you from Liberia.
And I am a huge fan a of your channel always watch your videos when I see it.
