#3 Roger Milla

Milla is a Cameroonian legend

While the Cameroonian striker Roger Milla, continued to flourish in the Indonesian League until he was 44, it is his exploits in the 1990 as well as the 1994 World Cup that has left a lasting impact on the hearts of football fans globally.

Born on 20^th May 1952, the Cameroonian was already the best player on the continent of Africa in the 1976 season and was lured to France by Valenciennes the following season.

However, the move did not reap rich rewards due to numerous injuries, but the player truly showcased his abilities when he joined Saint-Etienne after an ill-fated move to Bastia and continued to do so with Montpellier.

However, it was in the 1990 World Cup, held in Italy, where he truly captured the attention of the footballing world with his goal scoring ability, finding the back of the net on 4 occasions to help his side achieve a respectable quarterfinal spot.

While he was unable to replicate the form in the subsequent World Cup, his strike against Russia in the group stages made him the oldest scorer in the history of the World Cup, a record that is yet to be broken.
