MONROVIA (Reuters) - Liberian President and former football star George Weah awarded ex-Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger with the country's highest honour in a ceremony on Friday for services to African football that included launching Weah's own acclaimed career.
Wenger found Weah playing for Cameroon's Tonnerre Yaounde and brought him to French side Monaco in 1988, paving the way for a career playing striker at some of Europe's top clubs, including AC Milan, Paris St Germain and Chelsea.
