How good was George Weah actually? #GOAT
New episode of a documentary series where I plan to present all the greatest players of all time and then give them a score so a ranking of the best players can be created. In this episode we take on George Weah who played for AC Milan for most of his career, not only one of the greatest forwards of all time but one of the greatest players of all time. See how George Weah ranks and just how good he actually was.

[@simonforrest2522]

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.

[@stephenlewis1398]

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!!

[@rublaj]

lol you must be kidding... R9 never ever metioned weah as he had plenty of Brazilian strikers to look upon and also his biggest idol: Zico.

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.

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!!!

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? ??

Good luck!

[@BrainDamageComedy]

thats a good idea.

[@samdeh1989]

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.
