38 years old. Corner flag dance. 4 goals. Cameroon QF. Africa's most iconic World Cup moment.
Roger Milla's hip-swaying dance around the corner flag at the 1990 World Cup became the defining image of that tournament. At 38 years old — called out of retirement by Cameroon's president — he scored four goals and danced at the corner flag after each one, generating footage that was broadcast on every major network worldwide. His performances helped Cameroon reach the quarterfinals — still the furthest any African nation had gone. Milla became the oldest scorer in World Cup history in 1994 at 42, dancing once more.
