Top 10 Greatest African Footballers Of All Time
Well, this topic is one that might really interest you due to the level of talents the African football terrain has churned over the past few decades.
A few years ago, getting an African footballer to feature in major league outside the continent was a difficult thing to see. I won’t see that happened because Africa lacked great footballers to match with foreign footballers.
It could be possible because these foreign league had less knowledge concerning the tactical prowess of some great African players who were really on top of their game at that time.

With respect to continental and international successess, Ghana has proven beyond reasonable doubts they are a force to reckon with anytime any day.
Infering from top African footballers on record, I would say our most successful player is the legend Abedi Ayew Pele.
Due to the impact he has conferred on the Ghanaian and African football terrain, his two children have taken over his mantle and are doing amazing in both the Ghanaian national team and on the international front.
