Over the years, Goal’s resident cartoonist Omar Momani has celebrated some of the big moments in the careers and lives of Africa’s greatest players.
Many of the players he’s portrayed over the years have qualified for the inaugural African Legends Cup of Nations, which has reached its semi-final stage this weekend.
The likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang—all Momani favourites—have fallen by the wayside during the 32-man competition so far, as has Nwankwo Kanu, whose inimitable grin has been depicted in this article’s main image.
However, all four of the Alcon semi-finalists—Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto’o, Yaya Toure and George Weah—are also among Momani’s favourite muses, with the artist having covered the quartet’s development and progress over the years.
