soonish. pablo the former striker had the chance to score. his former youth coach cheered on from the stands by some young american if not i think. but he not the. on falling in line and he's up with a $24.00 on that if i say i was in at once and the mother should be at that wall of the war or and vice not the least amount that i walk into culpable i'll assume. it was on the on one of the social no no no no. i knew he had to be so funny even when s. a spear on. nothing and fans there was a tape that says. boston for you and for the nice in the cliffs and so by us if we don't do hopefully for 100 miles. from then on he was playing against the best strikers in the league his 1st goal and his chance to win this league game was against fire new. companies you know for

buffalo's career in germany was hugely important to an entire continent. to creating chances for all the african people you know for them. not being there were very difficult for us to also filled in spades and i think a credit to them. but as one of the 1st black footballers in the bundesliga he faced prejudices on and on. off the pitch. racism was a daily occurrence. it's gone it's gone it's the past you see i don't look back too much if i look back i'm happy. that i played in the ballistic i played in france as well what really makes me happy is that you don't really have so many issues of racism anymore in the industry. back in the days my favorite team . was france for they have a lot of. africans played phnom very i'm
7:45 am
a big fan of germany you know they have the german buttons and they're as you have the podolski is from different background. that's what i want to see. his compatriots also want to see him in their national team. past any finally gave you for his country in 1901 the fans literally held him aloft and with the national cine experience something very special. you know you sit in the bus suddenly the whole bus start singing. you know everybody starts singing you get out of the bus you're singing to intimidate you open and and this was something which i mean. gave me goosebumps. and african in the bundesliga was the exception in the early ninety's. probably stood out back then on the pitch it was hard but fair the racism
7:46 am
came mainly from the fans. and we have to be whole it is a want as many of you know if we convert your lunch of old and the blues you're going to finds it. off. on tuesday i'm posting stuff from the moment things are for 60 the fired a must let us have as i'm running all stock what i was once was it would only happen if they won fobbing in the months of fly 50 they're gonna get all the city lights he doesn't want to go in their. concerts it'd be a deduction from school and the stamp or the t.v. $10.00. 0 if you refuse c'mon. indeed i became full on the streets pushed on to not assist misanthropes but almost 15. years or a flag on the news who would. talk to me and i'll buy up shuffling teams in the
7:47 am
minutes need to know what's in this country. after cologne pablo spent 3 seasons with our got what he continued to mature and make a name for himself so much so that he was bought by byron munich. however he struggled to become a regular starter under coach but my hips felt he only played 16 times in 18 months nevertheless it was a great learning experience for pablo. the save for the 4 holes because it's rich as an assistant. month who would not run villa for christ son of ours not to us. a list please it's good to give in and only. give it a cigar either i'm still. super condoms we are told by is a disease 1st and to xen video loiter in quincy let's examine the
7:48 am
fashion of us country. his international career was special to. the decision to play for guinea was for his father although pablo felt more german . malted there's always the europe would really take the near. here's where you. really do is it did it begin in this discipline if you see those visual to the usual you don't get it but is it did i'll admit that i just was so that i didn't remember national journal as a ripple. in the bundesliga pablo switched clubs. moving to vault spork in 2003 he played a vital role as captain and leader. g.m. ended his career when he was 34. the 1st one room which toys the opposition with leading shriek of monaco you know it's. also not afrikaner.
7:49 am
but look if you didn't put sunscreen on the economy and if that sort of influence 5 on your confused by the come on that's the 1st thing i want to see go. bosh when i'm there he's in the shifter. pablo stayed loyal to vote. for a man who actually wanted to study medicine he cannot live without football for years he's been sporting director of the youth team and he's never really been homesick. for me france. is if we're going to. offer one of what's in our 1000. nothing. less than a safe here on this. money can doesn't think abortion on view.
7:50 am
of all of this regan is his for me that they've searched and least at the. meanwhile he passes on his experiences to those who want to follow in his footsteps . the diplomat son who took a path in life. that wasn't planned. let's include some of. us have one on the front whose votes has been in coffee the warden and i want to. understand for com one to have been influenced by the tape they snuck. up. on from the also you. know this is. uncertain that's an effect on. father told would like his son to live in africa but he also respects that pablo has found a new home in germany. and the up will spoil. their lives you keep going to
7:51 am
shock us and disturb. the nerves due to the deformity. in supply the professor. where. the study you force was the he or she was it. or not and then today. after working as a diplomat for years in europe senior returned to conakry but it is unlikely that pablo will do the same. when anthony buffalo ended his career in 1999 he moved to ghana. where he has lived in worked ever since. i always wanted to live in africa and i think i thought that i could be of more value on african soil. than in germany. he certainly is over the
7:52 am
last few years anthony buffalo has made a big impact on going in football. between 20052008 he was the coach of the national team. more and more he became interested in the sporting politics of africa in 2009 he founded a footballer's union in ghana which is a players' union. it's a syndicate to fight and defend into the players nobody believed in it before and now we've managed to get insurance for players we created the life of the football fund we help players getting the money back when salaries are not paid $1.00 contracts are differences locally and internationally most of the key players a part of the union and that also includes former bundesliga players because. sammy who for the former f.c. byron star knows why baffle was so important for ghana but i think you know we have to be appreciated having the morrow you know from day one that he decided to play
7:53 am
for god. i think that was the 1st step because he knew that maybe he will have an influence in our country to have a football and date. and before we knew who he had to involve in order to build something in ghana. now we on the way to. the maestro want to know the laws that. have been here. 3 times african bands won the champions league with the big musée play for you know god still play for 186 to munich as well. but the pele the superstar in town. together with the f.o. and other former professionals they are not only trying to change the structure of canadian football. what matters to them is a change in african football making it more competitive. and they know
7:54 am
the fish stinks from the head down. to make us know. all. their organization is one of the key. problem in this continent footballers have not been involved after. the game after the acarya like what to me is doing not only within ghana but within. the continent. obviously pele ended his successful international career in 1908 after 2 seasons with 860 munich where he learned a thing or 2 from the germans with things that because the skill for everything is ok and when i bring tony to come and speak to young footballers he would tell them that discipline is the key and if you also think that you should go to school with
7:55 am
full find work will tell you. where you should play place this. is what we tell you to because play station is fiction years reality. with his football union and the buffalo organizes training sessions for players without a club. he ensures that canadian footballers remain fit even if they are unemployed. ventura track the attention of scouts at the new buffalo regularly organizes friendly games. my idea before though is to create enough we can you know footballers receive i believe it was the time it was time to do something like that in the beginning not everybody believed in it but i can see things are moving on and this is one thing i've learned in germany even. when it becomes tough use the words of oliver caught him
