Totally Extra: George Weah - player, president, pioneer

From The Totally Football Show with James Richardson The Athletic

Jimbo is joined by James Horncastle, Tom Williams and Musa Okwonga as they open up the Totally Almanac in the 90's to celebrate George Weah.

"The life of this guy is a film" said his mentor Arsene Wenger; from a Shanty town in Monrovia to becoming the first and only African Ballon d'Or winner and eventually becoming the president of Liberia.

King George first won the hearts of Monaco and PSG fans with his dazzling runs and infectious personality before moving to Milan and winning two Serie A titles and scoring countless unforgettable goals. But was his pitch-long run & finish against Verona the goal of the decade?

Plus your questions and a fiendish Weah themed quiz question set by Duncan Alexander.

Produced by Charlie Jones and Jesse Howard.
