Rigobert Song leads Cameroon into their do-or-die World Cup clash with Brazil on Friday and the game in Doha brings back memories for the Indomitable Lions coach of one of his first experiences at the tournament.
Song is now 46 but he was still just 17 when he played against Brazil with Cameroon at the 1994 World Cup in the United States and was sent off in a 3-0 defeat.
"I was 17, it was in the United States and I found myself starting in that game against one of the best teams in the world when I had come straight out of the Cameroonian league. Song went on to play in four World Cups as a player during a remarkable career which saw him turn out at club level for the likes of Liverpool and Galatasaray.
