After an era of mediocrity in the 1960s , Sierra Leone’s soccer clubs entered a new era in the late 1970s and all of the 1980s when they made a brilliant impression on the minds of football fanatics in Africa.

We may not have won the Africa Cup of Champions or the Africa Cup-Winners Cup , though twice we came close to clinching the WAFU Cup, but clubs from Sierra Leone helped to make African competitions very thrilling and sensational.

There was the great Waterfront Boys–Ports Authority –who had one of the most exciting sides in the 1970s with inimitable names like Hassan Topeh Mansaray, Sorie Hercules, Joseph Ngaimoh Bangura, Aki Noah(whose head is encircled in pic), the great dribbler and goalscorer Sam Obi Metzger (seen third from right in the picture above), Christian Cole, Chico Cole, James Komboh, Wasiu Sunmonu etc.

Who will forget MIGHTY BLACKPOOL in 1978 when they made the Ghanaians notice that Sierra Leone was no longer “innocent” in soccer, when they humiliated the great Accra Hearts of Oak 2-0 in that epic Africa Club Champions match in Freetown ( with unforgettable goals from Allieu Ngayenga and Alusine Terry ? They upstaged the act in 1986 when they qualified for the Quarter-finals of the Africa Cup of Champions.

Can anybody in West Africa ever forget SIERRA FISHERIES ? This was one of the teams that made Sierra Leoneans walk with pride when they ravaged and decimated teams in both the WAFU Cup and the 1982 Africa Cup of Champions, in which they eliminated three top African teams including the Mighty Enugu Rangers of Nigeria and the then powerful Sekondi Hassacas of Ghana ? Who has forgotten wonderful names like Abu Gbator Sesay, Abu Sankoh(Zagalo), Mahmoud Kamara, Idrissa Police Kamara, Atto Mensah, etc who made Fisheries one of West Africa’s best teams in the early 1980?

What about the Brazilians of Sierra Leone—Real Republicans–a name that still rings in the minds of West African soccer fans ? Who will ever forget names like Mazolla Kamara, Abu Syrian Bangura, Tejan Conteh, Albert Conteh, Goalkeeper Frank Williams ,Augustus Lawson, Amadu Rappel Kamara etc ?

What about “the Killers’ , the Red Roaring East End Lions , who played in the WAFU Cup final against the Niger Armed Forces Team in 1998 ? Lions may not have won any cup in Africa, but in West Africa (like Mighty Blackpool)they are one of the legendary names. They gave Sierra Leone one of Africa’s most sensational dribblers ever, the late Ishmael Dyfan and one of West Africa’s most uncanny goalkeepers Brima Attuga Kamara (also dead)

Sierra Leone is not known for winning trophies but when the books are ever written about teams that embellished football in West Africa, her name will not be left out.She has produced some brilliant teams.Even though they have no international glory to boast of, teams like Old Edwardians , Regents Olympic and Freetown United, as well as the now-disbanded Bolton Nationale and King Tom Rovers were all once good sides that played dazzling and flowing football to the fascination of soccer fans.

But the question many people in the diaspora are asking is “where have all these great clubs gone ?”.It is distressing that not much is being heard anymore about Sierra Leone’s famed soccer sides. What happened to all of them ?

Some Freetown-based Sierra Leoneans to whom this Editor posed the question replied that the first thing to be considered is that Sierra Leone no longer has a consistent and well-organized National League, as was the case in the past when we had one of the best-organized championship competitions in West Africa. There was a time in Sierra Leone when every football fan looked forward to the coming of the month of May, when the league championship competition will start and last until January when the season ended with the National F.A. Cup final.

Today, Sierra Leone soccer seems to be suffering first from a dearth of committed sports organizers and promoters. In the good, old days, we had people like Jamil Sahid Muhammed, Nahim Khadi, C.A.Camara-Taylor, Brigadier Joseph Momoh, Edward Akar Kassim Basma and others who really loved the game and ensured its continuity .They used to spend big to make sure that the game survived every year. Today , such football promoters are no longer in existence in the country.

There is also the complaint from soccer fans that this government has not given priority to sports. The people that the government has placed in top sporting positions are the main problem. They lack vision and creativity like the sports promoters of the past.They have failed to design sporting programs that will strenghten our soccer and keep the game and teams alive. Our top players could not be retained due to poor incentives and have abandoned their clubs to play abroad. Teams are dying from lack of sponsorship.

The very dismal performance of our national team, Leone Stars in the African Nations Cup and World Cup Qualifying is a reflection of the pitiful standard of football in present day Sierra Leone.

Leone Stars and Bafana Bafana walking on to the pitch at a full house National Stadium Freetown October 2010 (Photo credit: Fred Claye)

I had been booked on the Friday BMI flight from London to represent sponsors Mediatel/Hummel at the match. I arrived in good time at  check-in with 2 large boxes (70kg) of some last minute hummel kit required by the team.

Calls had been made in advance to Kevin McPhillips/BMI regarding the boxes so I was a bit rattled when told the boxes would have to be re-packed to get the weight down by 6 kilos. After quickly acquiring a small case, at an exhorbitant price, I set about the re-packaging area in full view of other travellers, scouring faces for anyone I recognised, there were none.

The re-packed boxes were checked in and I was hoping that would be it as regards the boxes.

On arrival at Lungi, I was met by our local rep. Everything was going surprisingly smoothly, got through passport control and collected  the boxes within 20 minutes of landing. I cast a satisfied glance towards the Bafana Bafana team and officials who were sat, looking very bored, around the luggage retrieval area whilst the boxes were being hastily wheeled towards the helicopter ticket office. A sudden loud voice shook me out of my state of complacency, Excuse me Sir! Excuse me Sir! Where are you going? I need to check those boxes!. No matter what our local rep explained the official was insistent. A couple of customs officials started opening the boxes. In seconds calls began to rain down thick and fast on the officials’  various mobile phones with him retorting repeatedly Yes Sah, Yes Sah, Ah Noh Bin Know Sah-  and without another word to us ordered his men to reseal the boxes.

On arrival at Aberdeen, the boxes were duly collected by an SLFA official, gratefully that was the last I heard or saw of them.

On Saturday morning I went to the Leone Stars training session at the National Stadium. A crowd of at least two to three thousand was already in there  and they kept coming for the later Bafana Bafana training session. I must admit on close inspection the pitch was not in good condition, but good footballers can adapt to play on any surface. What was noticeable was that this group of Leone Stars seem closer to the fans and, correct me if Im wrong, a lot of them have graduated to greater things through initially playing for home based clubs, East End Lions, Blackpool, Ports Authority(my team), Edwards, FC Kallon… There was a seriousness about Leone Stars in the way the went about their tasks. Little did I realise there were severe rumblings in the camp as they abruptly left the field and boarded the team bus.

On Saturday evening went to a dinner at the Country Lodge comprised of journalists from both sides. Paradoxically the head chef was South African. Banter was great between the two sides, leaving one with the impression the match would be close.

On Sunday morning, match day, I took part in a sports discussion show on Radio Kalleone explaining the role of Mediatel/Hummel and the story behind the collaboration and sponsorship.

Mediatel are principally a telecommunications company with POP’s in London, Sydney, Delhi, Hong Kong and Auckland but also have interests in Sports and Arts.

Mediatel were partners in bringing to London’s West End  the South African  smash hit musical Umoja during 2001.

During a business trip to Freetown in 2007 a director of Mediatel picked up on the nations fervour for football and returned to London determined to do something about it,  culminating in the invitation of Leone Stars to London as part of the bicentennial celebrations for the abolition of slavery in 2007.

During preparations for the match against Millwall, whilst looking for sponsors, Hummel expressed an interest in sponsoring the Leone Stars kit and if possible for a longer fixed term. Hummel at the time had no links with Sierra Leone and asked Mediatel to facilitate their requirement. Negotiations were started with SLFA and after 3 years(No easy task dealing with SLFA as SABC found to their detriment) an agreement was reached in July 2010 for full kit sponsorship of the team. Leone Stars were able to wear, for the first time, the specially designed home kit against Bafana Bafana though the jersey had been available since January 2009.

For Christian Stadil, Hummel owner, the sponsorship fits in line with with his company’s outlook – Company Karma.

“The spine of hummel is radiating positive company karma and spreading good energy. Hummel always try to give something back to people, causes and stories that we believe in.

Christian told me that the film Blood Diamonds had an effect on him and that we should not be surprised if we get to see Leonardo Di Caprio in the jersey to help promote his good causes for Sierra Leone.

Hummel are also closely linked with Save the Children’s Fund and make a donation to the Sierra Leone chapter on international sales of the jersey.

I was asked about the website(www.slfasl.com) and how it came about. As part of the agreement Mediatel were to assist in SLFA communications. Fortunately, in the light of an absence of international tv coverage,  a radio feed had been tried and tested to broadcast the match in it’s entirety online. Mediatel will continue to develop the website with features such as online shopping, videos, podcasts, news and as much statutory information SLFA can supply to populate the site.

News kept filtering through about troubles in the Leone Stars camp and this was hours before the match.

I was ushered out of the show to get my highly prized Leone Stars jersey and head for the stadium. The crowds to the stadium were overwhelming. Once there it took over 2 hours to get to our seats.

It was refreshing to see the fans had taken to the  Hummel brand. There was a hierarchy of the type of jerseys fans wore. At the very top was the original official Hummel home jersey mainly worn by expatriates, Lebanese Sierra Leoneans and Presidential stand ticket holders. Next were the original Hummel away jerseys and then the plethora of fake Hummel jerseys to be seen everywhere.

The noise in the stadium was deafening, vuvuzela’s, drums, chanting and clapping far outweighing the piped music. All went up a notch when Leone Stars came out to warm up. I was surprised at the booing of Bafana Bafana  I suppose it all added to the intimidating atmosphere for them as they notably took a very long time to come on to the field I feared they had packed up and fled.

The match came and went in a blur. In the first half we controlled midfield. Rodney Strasser was a revelation ala Makalele/Vieira. The Bangura’s Mustapha and Mohamed up front were full of tricks outwitting the deep lying ponderous South African defence time and time again. Bafana offered little up front, I only remember them having one shot, that in the first 10 minutes which Caulker dealt with.

In the second half, Bafana withdrew and literally parked the bus. Khune their goalkeeper kept feigning injury after every one of his multitudinous saves, running the clock down

Cynical time-wasting after half-time must have been  Pitso’s gameplan after seeing Bafana could not match Leone Stars in ball play  regardless of the state of the pitch.

With time running out the great and the good around me had settled for the draw and started filing out. 1 minute to go–  the ball found it’s way to Poborsky, a one on one with the keeper, the keeper dived, Poborsky had an open goal from 10 yards, the crowd had begun  to celebrate in anticipation, Poborsky shot, high and wide, ref blew, Game over. Bafana escaped defeat by the skin of their teeth and they know it.

Toby Porter Reports From The Den

MILLWALL 2 SIERRA LEONE1 

MILLWALL won their first piece of silverware in six years with goals at either end of the game against Sierra Leone on Saturday.

Goals from Neil Harris and Gary Alexander helped win the Unity in the Community Cup, and gave the Lions the best possible preparation for the start of the 2006-07 season.

Gibrilla Kargbo’s volleyed goal in the 16th minute, though, was the best of some slick football the West Africans dished up to test their hosts.

That aside, Willie Donachie’s team held up resolutely against a technically gifted side – Kargbo was bouncing the ball on his heel in the warm-up before this game, staged to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the abolition of slavery.

The Daily Mail would probably have you believe home fans were red-faced with fury at the prospect of this game. That sort of distortion goes down well with retired major-generals of Middle England.

But instead, the West Stand swayed to the chant: “Two-one – and a long way home” – disappointingly lacking in malice for any Mail readers out there.

Almost 900 Sierra Leone fans had come for the pre-match entertainment and to see their international stars at The Den. But they could have seen some of the visiting team a lot closer to home. Junior Kadi, once of Dulwich Hamlet and now of Bromley, had less far to come than some of the Millwall players.

And Millwall were a goal ahead with almost their first move, when Dave Brammer’s short corner came back to him and he chipped over a cross with the outside of his right foot.

Harris was unmarked in front of goal and arrowed his header into the visitors’ top right-hand corner as keeper Christian Caulker clawed at thin air.

Danny Spiller should have doubled the score three minutes later when  Alexander’s neat threaded ball put the midfielder through on goal, but Caulker smothered smartly.

Sierra Leone levelled 10 minutes later, after Brammer stabbed a back-pass into the path of Abdul Din-Sesay, who twisted on the edge of the area and knocked a low cross to Kargbo, who crashed a shot first time into Chris Day’s bottom right-hand corner.

Spiller’s attempt to restore the lead two minutes later was almost as impressive – he brought down Brammer’s pass and dinked the ball over a defender with a second touch, but keeper Caulker was well positioned to hold his left-footed shot.

Danny Senda’s 23rd-minute 40-yard drive didn’t trouble Caulker, while Alan Dunne headed over one of his crosses and Alexander nodded another at the keeper, who also had to push  Ben May’s effort onto a post, though a goal-kick was given by badly-named ref Alan Wiley.

May and Alexander combined well in the second half, with the former Leyton Orient hitman flicking on for his strike partner, who controlled well but couldn’t steer around a smothering Caulker.

At the other end, Day had to gather two Kemokai Kallon free-kicks from more than 40 yards, but last man Richard Shaw was lucky to stay on the field after holding back Mamady Bah with half an hour still to go.

Harris could have doubled his score when a goal-kick went straight to him, but he lifted his 79th-minute attempt over the bar and the game looked set to be decided on penalties.

The winner, though, came with only 30 seconds left, when Scott Barron’s soaring cross found Alexander unmarked in the box. He had enough time to have changed his mind several times about his options, but instead the striker’s glanced downward header left Caulker rooted to the spot.

Alexander’s first goal in a Millwall shirt saved Edwards having to face the penalty shoot-out. But judging by his starring role in the 1-0 midweek defeat by Southampton, it would have been a challenge he would have relished.

As Paul Robinson lifted the Unity in the Community Trophy after the game, Donachie would have been quietly pleased about the gradual improvement in his side during the last five weeks.

And the Lions board will have been just as happy to have staged a joyous anti-slavery celebration.

Some people seemed to want to boycott the event as being “too political” (translation: “too noble”). As a gesture, staying away was like a herd of diseased Surrey cattle boycotting bolt guns: years too late,completely ineffective,and full of bull anyway.

Some also tried to drown out the first words of the Sierra Leone national anthem before the start of the game.
But when your country has been torn apart by 10 years of civil war, having two lines of “High We Exalt Thee, Land of the Free” chanted down is unlikely to trouble you too much.

Sierra Leone - List of Champions

Prior to the formation of an official national league in 1980, three attempts were made to define a national club champion; these are apparently considered unofficial. Prior to that, regional competitions were held, most importantly among the clubs from the Western Area around Freetown, where the SLFA was founded.

championship apparently disappeared (although it initially may have served as a kind of

qualifying competition for the nationwide tournament, which initially was decided by a final).
