We organise an away match with them so we hired a vehicle that took us there, reaching there a message popped up on our mobile phone welcoming us to Cameroon and we started jubilation because football have taken us out of pur country.

We started joking with each other and celebrating because it was a surprise for all of us, some of us started making jess of certain individuals that if not for football he wouldn't have travelled out of the country and also laughing at ourselves that football have brought us to Cameroon.

It was a very good atmosphere and the reception was good we really had fun that day and we ended up sharing the spoils as the game ended in 1-1.

My performance in this game us quite interesting and remarkable because I can play in all the positions aprt from goalkeeper.
My most memorable performance was when I came off the bench to score a hatrick ( 3 goals ) in a final and we ended up winning the trophy.

My name was sang all over the street and I became porpular because everyone saw my performance in that match, that was my best day as a footballer and it will forever remain in my heart.

Although I have also remarkable performances that saw me voted man of the match several times which is a good thing to motivate me to keep improving and doing my best whenever I am inside the football pitch.
