On behalf of FIFA and the football family, FIFA President Joseph S. Blatter sent his most sincere congratulations to Roger Milla on the eve of the gala match to be held in honour of his 50th birthday.
“Your name will go down in the history of football, not only in the footballing history of your country, Cameroon, but also in the history of every country in which you have played, either for a club team, or for your national team” Blatter wrote to Milla.
“You personified the great footballing talent of your country, as well as its technical genius, its individuality and its joie de vivre.”
Joyeux anniversaire!
