Where there’s a will, there’s a Weah: We can't let Black History Month go by without celebrating the legendary George Weah! He is the only African to have won the prestigious Ballon d'Or - a feat that will forever remain in football history.
George Weah’s accolades need their own article: 3-time African Footballer of the Year, 4-time FIFA XI, Onze d’Or, Ballon d’Or, FIFA World Player of the Year, FIFA Silver World Player of the Year, and IFFHS African Player of the Century. In 2004, Pelé included George Weah on his list of the greatest 125 soccer players of all time.
Even Wenger, the man who believed in him more than most at the outset of his arrival in Europe was surprised at Weah’s ascent to the very top of the game. “Who would have predicted he would end up winning the Ballon d’Or? He was a miracle!”
Who else is out there inspiring greatness like him?
