One of the goalkeepers of the team, Imama Amapakabo, said parents hardly allowed their children to play football at the time, adding that it was a major challenge for him and his contemporaries. “Those days, nobody recognised what we were doing. It was when we got to the semi-finals of the World Cup that the world took recognition. We left the country for the tournament unheralded.”
“My parents’ reaction to our 85 World Cup victory was wonderful because they never thought it was going to be that big, that they could watch me on TV playing in China playing. The whole community would fill our house to watch our games on TV anytime we played.
