The ongoing Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) tournament in Gabon is a pale shadow of what some of us knew back in the day.
After watching the openers, I was convinced the old boys of yesteryear raised the bar. Even with Afcon on air, I still wait to watch the repeats which was impossible around 1988 — when the likes of the late Nigerian forward Rashidi Yekini were the showstoppers.
