On September 23 1984, Zamalek legend Emmanuel Quarshie scored what was one of the best goals in the Cairo giants’ history in Africa.

It was a Champions League quarter-final second leg against Zambia’s Nkana Red Devils in Cairo and eventual champions Zamalek only needed a goalless draw to qualify.

However, a vintage display by Ghana midfielder Quarshie, who scored a couple of goals including one stunning pile-driver from some 35 yards out, inspired a 5-1 win for the Whites.

Match commentator Ahmed Effat said: “GOAAAL! A bomb from Quasrhie, a bomb from Quarshie…a rocket!”

Quarshie, who was a former Ghana captain, passed away only five days ago at the age of 59 because of cancer.
