George Weah - Part 1 ( 0 to 11mins )

Part 2: • George Weah - Part 2 (...
This is One of hundreds of features and documentaries I filmed for Trans World International / IMG Media spanning 17 years.
This is one of my favourite stories as we were waiting in Liberia for George for three days whilst he had other commitments. He then flew us down on a private plane to Ghana with his mates to pick him up at his Mum's place and we still managed to get this one done in three days.

[@jshemgessay9340]

He's Liberia's icon. While the POLITICIANS, inclusive of Madam Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, made us ugly by their guns, his legs and courage put us in a rainbow scene.

A great footballer but a better human being

[@franciscojavierfloressanto5756]

El mejor potente delantero que jamas vi george weah un fuera de serie. Lo único injusto es k jamas pudo jugar una competencia internacional debido a su país de origen sin duda el mejor jugador africano de la historia

[@anthonykollie142]

Football legend now politician

[@MrWeah2003]

George Weah IS and WILL remain the best African football player. Overall he is top 10. I cannot believe the world almost forgot about him and now they just idolize arrogant and honorless players like C. Ronaldo or that little prick from Barcelona. WEAH FOREVER!!

[@Azyjfm]

You re Crazy.

[@ejleoz21]

He and my dad were good friends.

[@micky100]

TI AMOOOOOO GEORGEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@semba2012]

This video is very old and by posting it in 2012 makes it appear that this is the situation in Liberia. Weah did play a role in bringing hope to Liberians but after war, he needs to re-image himself since leaving soccer/ He still has a lot to offer.

There is no way many of us will ever forget what u've done for our country. Through your soccer skills, you brought the name of liberia to the world. Though many have forgotten his talent, we they Liberians will always be in his debt.
