Rank the greatest Indomitable Lions ever — from Roger Milla's iconic 1990 World Cup dances to Samuel Eto'o's back-to-back Champions League glory.

Roger Milla

Legendary striker and national icon who came out of retirement to electrify the 1990 World Cup at age 38, scoring four goals and dancing around the corner flag in celebrations that captivated the world.

Powerful and beloved midfielder who collapsed and died on the pitch during the 2003 Confederations Cup, leaving a lasting legacy and remembered as one of Cameroon's finest ever players.

Explosive and technically brilliant striker who won the African Player of the Year award and was the star of Cameroon's golden generation that won back-to-back AFCON titles around 2000.

Imperious central defender who is Cameroon's most capped player with 137 appearances, having represented the country at eight African Nations Cups and four World Cups.
