EXCLUSIVE: African hero George Weah - FIFA TV

:clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:
A good all-round clip on the achievements of the Big George (against all the odds the typical grass-to-grace Africans like him have to face).
Note the part where he humbly pays homage to Arsene Wenger.

Re: Listen to this Leicester fan. Football is amazing.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03cl1cc Just superb. It has been argued that passion for football rivals (and sometimes surpasses) a man's love of a woman..
