#7 George Weah
The Black Diamond, Weah was one of the many top forwards that emerged from the AS Monaco stables in this Golden Age (Thierry Henry, David Trezeguet, Victor Ikpeba among others).

A deceptively fast goal monger who combined power & physicality with technique and intelligence, “King George” as he was fondly called was a shining inspiration for footballers from Africa and was the first player from outside Europe and South America to win the Ballon d’Or award and FIFA World Player of the Year award.
Rightly regarded as one of the precursors to the phenomenon of the multi-functional modern striker, his ability to influence the game even without scoring by his assists, work rate and creation of space for others to score, Weah was as unselfish as he was prolific.
His record of 193 goals in 411 club appearances and 22 in 60 games for the Lone Stars of Liberia are indicative of his quality.
