At 38 I was the star of the Cameroon team of 1990, scoring four goals as we became the first African side to reach a World Cup quarter-final. I was born at Yaounde the capital of Cameroon, and began my career with Eclair Douala, then played for Leopards of Douala. At Tonnerre of Yaounde, I won the Cameroon league and cup medals.I was unsuprisingly Africa's Footballer of the year in 1976, and moved to France in 1977 spending two seasons at Valenciennes before being transferred to Monaco. I had four seasons with Bastia and between 1984 and 1987 was with St. Etienne before I then moved to Montpellier.I won the French cup with Monaco in 1980 and with Bastia in 1981 and collected a French Second division championship medal with St. Etienne. After 152 goals in the French league, I retired to the French Reunion Islands to play for Saint Pierre, helping them win the local league title in 1990.After 81 full caps, I was tempted out of retirement for my second World Cup, returning after the coach got the nod of approval from the other players. Too bloody right. In five games, all as a "super-sub", I scored the two goals which beat Romania and the two that beat Colombia. In the quarter- final against England I was involved in Cameroon's two goals.It is a little known fact I changed my name from Miller to sound more African, and I was the oldest man to score in the final stages of a World cup. I was 42 when I scored against Russia in the 1994 World Cup... width="425" height="350" .... width="425" height="350" ..
