    Albert Roger Milla was born in Yaoundé on May 20, 1952. The young Milla’s skill and imagination drew the attention of the Éclair club of Douala, who signed him as an amateur in 1965. He later joined the Leopards of Douala in 1970, with which he won his first national championship in 1972. Milla moved to France and played with a number of clubs including Monaco of which he won a French cup in 1980.
    Milla and Cameroon’s national team, known as the Indomitable Lions, became world famous. He was the leading scorer in the two African Cup of Nations victories claimed by Cameroon in 1984 and 1988. He played in the 1982 World Cup when Cameroon earned international respect after a superb performance in the tournament. At the 1990 World Cup, 38-year-old Milla, playing as a substitute, scored four goals and led Cameroon to the quarterfinals. Milla’s celebrations dance after his winning goal against Colombia performed near the corner flag inspired imitations by goal scorers throughout the football world. Coming out of retirement for the 1994 World Cup, Milla, then 42 years old, became the oldest player to score a goal in the World Cup. He is now an itinerant ambassador for African causes. In 2004, he was named to the FIFA 100, a list of the greatest living footballers selected by Pelé in conjunction with FIFA's centenary celebrations. Milla starred in a Coca-Cola advertisement for 2010 FIFA World Cup as the originator of the goal celebration dance.
