This book is an excellent eye witness account of someone (Mr. Tijan Masanneh Ceesay) who lived through these years learning and mastering the art of calling and commentary of matches. Tijan was not only a football commentator but a sports journalist covering most sports events.The periods covered in this book were the most crucial years in Gambian football with its high and low points and the game flourishing to high heights during the period. The developments within the game, the problems, the rivalries, upsets and the sacrifices and contributions of individuals to enhance football in the Gambia are all covered in this book. The book also highlights what passion and determination can help achieve. Tijan was a passionate and determined learner who eventually mastered and according to some even out shined the best there was.I am amazed at his vivid recollection of events, names and dates. This book is worth reading and will be a valuable addition to the collection of the history of Gambian Football, Basketball and Athletics.
