Roger Milla – Old Is Gold
By Miniboro • Illustrations • 29 Sep 2011
I had the good fortune to see Roger Milla play in USA 94 at Stanford Stadium. The game I attended (Cameroon 1 – Russia 6) was extraordinary for two reasons. Firstly Milla’s consolation goal meant that he became the oldest player to appear and score in a World Cup Finals (he was 42 years and 39 days old). Whilst in that same match, Russia’s Oleg Salenko became the first and only player to ever score five goals, quite a game.
Anyway i digress, the dance steps shown in Cameroonian colours are a nod to Millas famous goal celebration, whilst the bottom left of the illustration is meant to represent the corner flag markings etc.

Hi Martin, thanks for that glad you’re enjoying the site, which island are you referring to out of interest?
The illustrations need the explanations, but after reading them everyone will go, “aaah yes, of course”. Interesting unique website, thanks, greetings from remote island (not slaggy)
