Soccer chiefs in Guinea are ruing they day in 1997 that they rejected the services of a young man called Henri Camara for their national soccer team.
Camara was born in the south of the country but grew up in Senegal.
After his rejection by Guinea he concentrated on playing football for his adopted country and he did them proud when he took them to the World Cup quarter-finals with two goals against Sweden.
