Roger Milla is widely celebrated globally for his exploits at the World Cup in 1990 with the Cameroonian national team.

The former Cameroon striker netted four goals at that tournament to engross his name in the history books of world football.

A footage of his amazing display has been spotted, with the legend and his teammates unlucky to lose to England.

The three Lions defeated Cameroon after Gary Lineker scored from the spot to see the Europeans progressed to the semi-final. England were awarded two spot kicks in that game.

However, it was the cameo from Milla that stole the attention of fans. With Cameroon down by a goal after Stuart Pearce had given England the lead, Milla was fouled in the box by Paul Gascoigne few minutes after coming on, and Emmanuel Kunde made no mistake from the spot.
