Roger Milla - World Cup 1990



Roger Milla (born Albert Roger Mooh Miller, supposedly on 20 May 1952) is a retired cameroonian  footballer who played as a striker. He was one of the first African  players to be a major star on the international stage. He played in three World cups  for the Cmerron national team.

38-year old Milla emerged as one of the tournament's major stars. He scored four goals in Italy, celebrating each one with a dance around the corner post that has become a popular goal celebration ever since. Two of his goals came against  Romania in Cameroon's second game, and two more came in extra time against Colombia  in the last 16 to carry Cameroon to the quarter-finals, the furthest an African team had ever advanced at the World Cup.
