My Take
Abedi Pele is one of those names that football history people speak about with real reverence. A Ghanaian attacking midfielder who captained his national team and is regularly called one of the greatest African footballers ever, he made his real mark in France, lighting up Lille and especially Marseille in Ligue 1. What strikes me is that he did this before African players were a given at Europe's top clubs, so he was effectively kicking the door open for everyone who followed. There is also the wonderful detail that his sons went on to play professionally too, so the bloodline kept giving. A genuine pioneer.
