I CAN BET THAT OUR "BIRI BIRI PELE DE GAMBIA" WAS BETTER THAT MARADONNA AND MESSI; AT HIS PEAK ON THE GAME  AN UNSUNG HERO FOR FIFA AND AFRICA (A VERY SERIOUS CASE FOR CAF)
MY STATEMENT IS ENDORSED BY FATHER GOUGH (WHITE MAN IN PHOTOS) ACCORDING TO REPORT HERE;
"The Coach for the Veterans' team, Fr Joseph Gough had this to say about Biri, " Biri is not only the best that ever played in Africa, he ranks amongst the top three that ever played this game." The Roman Catholic Irish Priest went on to add that ,"Had Biri been say a Brazilian, He could simply have been the PELE of the world". With such a bold statement coming from someone who knows the game like Joe Gough; who had an opportunity to see Biri play back in the 70's and 80's; then Gambia and its people have something to be proud of."
THE GAA DESERVES COMMENDATION FOR THIS GREAT EVENT EXECUTED IN GRAND STYLE!
