it's hard to believe. much of it. surely to screw africa the war story link to exceptional stories and discussion from the news is easy and while with safety deputed comes to. join us on facebook. for. i have 2 sides i have the african side but also of the german side. see it as it is. the kind i didn't of i thought it was. for oxford's and godchildren. i see myself totally as an african like a set an african who was born and was bred in germany. but my german side

there's still a need to get things done to be in time to be punctual i don't like it when people come late. if you really want to be my friend you must really come in time you. know i was always a brother so if you get on the scene you're a mature and to give it up with. the line of sight but as long as order since the bus comes was on those and so let's also cuisine of water industry even. to fight off close to us the. collatz is going that most people most of us can look. at u.t.d. stuff. to go and smell in the wooden shoes to. conakry

the capital of guinea in west africa. was born here in 1904 guinea is football crazy football is played everywhere no matter how small the space. a keen observer. pablo's father the 69 year old as a football legend in guinea as captain of his hometown club high for not cory he won the african champions league 3 times. he still regularly needs are the heroes of yesteryear the small nation of guinea was a major force in african football during the 1970 s. and it was. something equivalent to the franz beckenbauer of guinea.

seniors always recognised in public everyone knows who he is and his son pablo too . did look up at the end of it keeping us from beginning. to get on. some. sort of put on desire in the border put. it to close and that's going. on what it. despite his hero status senior remains a modest man and pablo's bundesliga career wouldn't have been possible without his father as a role model. for the new. last few. through us to do their. don't the sports if

i had to move very. man tolo t.m. had to end his career prematurely because of injury. he worked as an embassy employee and was posted to germany in 1988 together with his 4 year old son possible back then football wasn't his passion. good for their good discardable. i don't when i budgeted out who did this but don't . talk much down country song cause he will fairness good will. probably win rolled at the local club not that he was thinking of a professional career. as a mean for his kind of company for glutinous own voice of dominance and it seems freudian on my look right at the hardness lose if you. or the excitement are not meant to be fought it's going to stop under us what happened to monetise gotten and

some allies at least take training and i know basketball training does initial us middle. stands or if it. exists in the. current mom conter. trying change for the youth coach at f.c. cologne discovered pablo more by accident. but in a family of 4 any of them shown on some innocence we saw in these on. the day my thoughts on the message i make on top on. straight away this exceptional talent was german youth champion with f.c. cologne the start of a great career. anthony grew up in this diplomatic quarter in bonn. it was in this street that the young at the knee 1st came into contact with football in the late 1960 s. . it was really great because we lived in the focus. and

you know we just blocked the road so no cars could pass they always had to take a deviation. without any further encouragement the son of a guy named diplomatic clerk was playing on this similar pitch. f.c. feeling stuff godas bad was anthony's 1st club. this is where his journey to a successful international. football career began. and then bang lies and that's what you say in germany where the train passes and i'll never forget that pitch because that's where everything started for me and i went there with my brother but we didn't have football shoes you know we were in this raining boots commish the folk that's how you say in german and played with the reigning blues scored 2 goals that day double everybody and that's how everything started.

from 6. i'm of almost with good will who moved to food no wish to see as the months. in seeing it was anthony buffalo's best friend growing up in bonn. together they fired f.c. rings. to victory after victory. in the early 1980 s. christophe down brought anthony power foley to the youth team at f.c. cologne where he 1st encountered the big stars of the leak which wasn't always enjoyable but i remember there was the corrie door and the left side where the young players were and on the right side all the established players were so you

want to get from the left to the right side and you needed to be mentally very very strong because sometimes one of them will come and we'll say. how to go beyond all of us or did it burn here. he was reflecting. on your caller that's why i say mentally you have to be very strong you know but i was always protected by people like tony schumacher softening of. stefan engels was one of those stars at f.c. cologne he was respected by everyone and took young anthony under his wing. shorn. to the most. often. often zif the middle man going on. instinct in us come on in one more year win or middle.

east in the money. on august 13th 1983 anthony made his bundesliga. not a normal premier for him or anyone else. i was one of the 1st blacks and apparently the 1st of all and. i was the minister of a stadium. which is today totally totally different ballgame in terms of no track. i walked in and i looked up there was a whole group of. blacks so i don't know if the way i played basketball player. and they got up and. they just made may dislike black power and i said hey i'm not alone here you know and i was a great feeling. this spring him on during his debut against

the felt. even though the game ended in defeat. played for 90 minutes and lost the game was ok you know f.c. cologne was a stepping stone. and in my cario. i. learned a lot in terms of human relations but i learned also that i'm not training for the coach 1st of all i'm training for myself. on nov 5th 1994 parbleu played his 1st point is league game as a central defender. to file kind of monday a fish beautiful it's not no time on mention comforted us forced. him to scream so much and. pablo the former striker had the chance to score.

his former youth coach cheered on from the stands by some young american national guardsmen. but he not this comes on falling in line and he's up with a 24 on that if i say i was in that wind something obviously you thought i was. on and vice not the least amount that i walking style pablo i'll assume. it was on the one i thought. would i be happy to for the. year on. nothing and fans there was a tape that says. boston for you and for his keys and they could listen so behind 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 10th win this week a game was against fire good. company you know for a couple 16 metre. tall because nobody london drinkers and i

just was there to live in fear can its own essence towards. what i can you know. not to dismiss him for guessing you know. his 1st professional contract was something special for pablo. you find coffee to be on. the list but even you you know heartened by the system design the movement. anthony that follows bundesliga career stalled after his 2nd game. was even substituted half time and didn't do well at all because there was

a 2nd much out in the week and that's where he saw that hey. the very big i still have a long way to go his 2nd game was also his last for cologne. 2 years after steve you he moved to a house in the 2nd division one year after that to stuttgart a kicker's also in the 2nd tier between $8789.00 he played for fortune of cologne impressing so much that he was brought back to the bundesliga by fortuna just off in 1909. where he provided more than just a few gold assists. i 1st in this league oh no i don't even remember. oh it was a penalty yes but. i'm divestments in goal from the penalty spot i shouted to the left and he went to to his left yes i remember very very well. and then he buffaloes career in germany was hugely important to an entire continent

. creating chances for all the african people you know for them. not being there were very difficult for us to also food and i think a credit to them. but it's one of the 1st black footballers in the police league 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 plain phnom very i'm a big fan of germany you know they have the buttons and they're as you have the

podolski from different backgrounds. that's what i want to see. his compatriots also want to see him in their national team. past and finally give you 1st country in 1901 the fans literally held him aloft and with the national t.v. experience something very special. you know you sit in the bus suddenly the whole blocks 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. problem stood out back then on the page it was hard but fair the racism came mainly from the fans. and we had to be whole it is who hold us oneself you

know if we convert your lunch of old and the blues you're going to tell us i'm a fine send. off. on tuesday i'm posting stuff from the moment from the forces to the fire that must let us have as a morning all still clothes on so it would only have been a day one farthing in the months of fly 50 that danny can almost see let's he doesn't go to. concerts he did it if b.d.'s a deduction from school and the stamp was achieved 10. 0 a few refused that. everything would be needed became full on the streets pushed onto mattresses misanthropes but even. if you were trying to flog on the news who would. up shuffling teams in the monist need to win the votes in this country. after cologne harlow spent 3 seasons without facial got 40 continue

to mature and make a name for himself so much so that he was bought by fire in munich. however he struggled to become a regular starter under coach my hitzfeld he only played 16 times in 18 months nevertheless it was a great learning experience for pablo. the safe choice for holes because its root is an assistant cut alice was montreux would not run villa for close on of hours to us. please is good also given only. given that if he got either i am still learn. from vice is a disease 1st and he got on to xen video loiter in quincy let's examine. his country. his international career was special to. the decision to play for

gainey was for his father although pablo felt more german. more all instructors also learned today that they demand. here's where the. lady was rooted it diggin in because of a few visual to join the junction it but is that there i'll admit that i just was like you know through international join other republicans. in the bundesliga pablo switched clubs. move into vogue spoke in 2003 he played a vital role as captain and leader. ended his career when he was 34. before for the most toys the whole physician with evolutionary time monica you know . it's also not afrikaner.

but look if you didn't have some spin on the economy it sort of influenced 5 on your confused by the current one that's the 1st thing i wanted to see. me tom daschle and i and there isn't a shift. 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. is if we're going to clog the. amount of what's enough because and to see if. nothing. but see here on this. money can doesn't some call born on view.

of all of this regan this is for me since most and least of 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 was unplanned. let's and if that's for me another. one on the phone from folks who screen can coffee the warden and i want to . understand for com one to have been in 145 tape they snuck. up denise so. this is. also gunson that's an effect. father was montrose 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 shock us on this there. isn't an early due to the default.

by the professor. where i realize that the study you force was the he or she was. wrong. or not so men 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 and worked ever since. i always wanted to live in africa and i think that i could be of more value on the african soil. than in germany. he certainly is over the last few years anthony before 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 the fight and defend in terms of 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 had players getting the money back when salaries are not paid when they have contracts or differences locally and internationally most of the key players a part of the union and that also includes former bundesliga players because the. semi coup 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 for god. i think that was the 1st step because he knew that maybe he will have

an influence in our country terms of football and he did. knew who he had to involve in order to build something in ghana. we on the way to. the maestro the one i know who was. i believe. 3 times african bands won the champions league with him the big missing play for you know god show played for 86 to munich as well. but he pele the superstar and got. 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 them more competitive. they know the fish stinks from the head down. they should make.

all. their organization is one of the key. problem in this continent footballers have not been involved after. the game after the area like what anthony 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 worry learn a thing or 2 from the germans for example things that because of 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 full find work with them. or you should play a place this. is what we tell you to go

through a stage in the fiction years reality. with his football union and he organizes training sessions for players without a club. he ensures that canadian footballers remain fit even if they are unemployed. eventually tracked the attention of scouts at the 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 about 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 of i don't remember the name of allah.
