- What did you think when everything happened? -
When I returned from Finland I was depressed and disappointed. As life in Africa was not easy, many asked why I came back and not join my teammates who sought asy- lum. The Coach at the time gave me great confidence. He said, we all could turn pro in Europe, if we played well, but many did not listen but instead of playing at the tour- nament many ran before the games where even played. We were twenty that repre- sented Sierra Leone in Finland but only five players returned home at the time. Except for now that many are back in the squad."
- How much do you think of it today? -
"Sometimes, but not so much, but I'm glad, I'm sitting here today however. If you look at how some live and work in Sierra Leone, I thank god that he has helped me. I have a lot to thank him for."
- If you had not played football, what would you have done then? -
"I do not know. However, I chose the right path back then and my family liked that I played football as a child. I have always played football and it has paid off, before school, after school - all the time for me. "
- Do you remember when you came to Sweden for the first time? - "Yes (laughs). It was in September and I was alone. I travelled here with just a jacket with me. It was cold and it snowed a lot and I thought immediately: "What is this?”... But I have learned a lot from living here, not just with football. Living here and interacting with the community has taught me to be a better person."
- By the way, with this goal celebration styles, will we see you dancing anytime soon? - "Yes, every game I score, is a party for me and my culture. And also at home you do whatever it takes to win as one's family and friends are sitting in the stands watching you make it your mission not to lose." So I celebrate when I score and if you get to watch our games you will see me dancing after every goal I score.
