My Take
Ahmed Hassan is, to me, the embodiment of Egyptian football's golden run. With 184 caps he sits among the most-capped male internationals in history, and that number alone tells you how durable and dependable he was over the years. An attacking midfielder who could also work the right wing, he had the engine to keep contributing deep into matches. I rate him as one of the genuinely great names in African football, and the fact that he later moved into coaching suggests the game never left his system. Born in 1975 in Minya Governorate, he carried his country through a remarkable, trophy-laden period.
