AFC Leopards legend Charles Okwemba believes Cameroonian midfielder Geremi Njitap stayed long in the game owing to his discipline and focus.
The versatile player made his debut for the Indomitable Lions in 1996 at just 18 and went on to play for the team until 2010. During his time, Cameroon won the Olympic gold medal in 2000 and the Africa Cup of Nations in 2000 and 2002.
"Geremi was a determined player who, on most occasions, did his talking on the pitch," Okwemba told Goal on Saturday.
