After all Liberian footballers in the 60’s and 70’s were described as ‘grona,’ a pejorative expression. It was during the execution of the league that George Oppong Weah and his contemporaries were identified. Heading the 3rd division’s Union of the Liberia Football Association Sub-committee (ULFASCOM) was Mr. Assamady Kabba of the then Central Monrovia LFA Sub-Committee. In fact, Edwin Volawuo of Bong Range United (BRU) in his persistent search for players had stumbled upon George Oppong Weah that led Weah to play for the club. It was later that he decided to run for the president of Liberia by organizing the Congress for Democratic Change (CDC).
