#2 George Weah

Arguably the greatest African footballer of all time and the only Ballon d’Or winner from the continent, Geroge Weah played a crucial role in PSG’s successes in the mid-1990s. In his prime, Weah was considered to be one of the greatest strikers to ever play the game.

The Liberian was blessed with good speed, physique, and technique and his goals and skills enthralled PSG fans day in and day out. Bought from Monaco in 1992, Weah had three extremely successful seasons at PSG, where he won the Ligue 1 title, Coupe de France and Coupe de La Ligue.

For his achievements and skills, the Liberian was nicknamed “King George”. King George went on to win the FIFA Ballon d’Or in 1995 before making a move to AC Milan where he cemented his place as one of the greatest players of this generation.
