Hear this week german democratic republic consul general secret camps along with a representative of the ministry of information of the republic of guinea to rector a key opened in exhibition under the title 15 years of the g. D. R. I can praise the exhibition as proof of the successes of a socialist economy and its a welcome contribution to the increased cooperation between the g. D. R. And guinea. Sharif found his way to noid plan and bork in the winter of 1962 as a guest within the framework of the g. D. R. Us socialist Development Aid program he spoke no russian or german. But no division of it people ask me do you have a heart. I said yes. And im all about your head still with us and i said here this is my head. So that it did to develop that. Sharif worked annoyed brandenburg state run building sector where he was able to gain experience to help with his own countrys construction. You move the block see we lived in biloxi the athletes and he lived with his colleagues in block d. Of so we were all on the same premises we shared a canteen together at meal times got an item out and then there was a hall which we used to train in the evenings and the whole he was there doing some stuff for the ball with his hands and feet he was very talented. On how you could see straight away that he was a footballer that he had owned by the man who got magazine doesnt buy this super team in shorts a brilliant guy who does everyone just felt like he was our pele in a dialogue hes in parties or to a likeable guy with a great character better than some germans this man should. Not. Be. Keeping in touch with his family wasnt easy a letter from now i plan and book took weeks to arrive and getting. In the Republic Fund is my experience the best of conditions in the german democratic republic. Silliman shady why suman sharif has decided to get his qualifications in our republic. So what if you see then and how his expectations were more than fulfilled in noir brandenburg then and forced in and then follow and that. The cross from not so into the parts down penalty box in the 17th minute was converted by a back heel from shareef to make it to nail a great goal. For her to be effective my. People were curious they wanted to know why i came to the g. D. R. What children used to touch me up on the trip to find out whether there was coal on my skin at. The site later on people in my brandenburg got used to me or you dont come pretty specially once i started playing football on the fact that you know i think that i developed the film. When i was a wise. Man i was. Lucky enough was. Good. Grammar class in a school in candia. In guinea 3 quarters of the population are illiterate. Sharif came to the school at the start of the 1950 s. Credit to go through and he spent every minute of his free time kicking a ball around. 7 pm to the gun defend us now now that this sandy pitch was my 1st sports ground. Its very different to the big. I played him years ago. That is used to fall down and graze ourselves and get dirty. They used to go mad. But thats football sort of. This is where he learned the alphabet. The basis for his education leading up to his journey to noise behind him boy. It does after 65 years sharif meets his former teacher once again. Is. That the right. Word brother but rather more to this that there is this is that a. This is a. Little bit of this. That the round up. And not the 91 years old. The fantastic that was wonderful he couldnt ski view old news we werent very good either but he was even worse and the movie had to do Cross Country and it was a catastrophe of this world for him this is of course something new and obviously he got to know the snow up close and personal a few times. But im here for you to lose your fire fell over and over and over again but i love them up until a minute he was there my coach took me by the hand place and said lets try it together you know that there were hundreds. In noise behind him but serif became a part of the team but in the league he remained an outsider. Shareef like the fountain opponents and was immediately dismissed by the referee for misconduct. Very harsh one sold. Or whatever some spectators make comments like that especially when we played away from home. Or here have a banana. Shareef was targeted once again and this time it frustrated him usually fan recessed the striker got some more carried away and had to leave the pitch after a scuffle in the 43rd minutes. But sherrys concentrated on his game candace teammates had a name and promotion into the top flight of east german football. But. It was. For hes a jolly good fellow for hes a jolly good fellow. Of the. Sun for the most fantastic moments of. The view it was as if the noise brunt of both people adopted me at that moment. Promotions for the novel and then people were ecstatic that is it ever among. Primitives. The brilliant achievements of our Football Club scene oig random book and their promotion into the open was celebrated yesterday at an official reception held by the local leadership of the socialist unity Party Representatives of the Free Federation of german trade unions and the council of the districts of noisy brandenburg. Rick. York is 12 goals sharif was awarded an honorary title. When the gods. It was written in the regulations of east german football the foreigners were forbidden to play in the open league. Just that. Awful. Slow not tuna fish of course it was regrettable that foreign teammates were forbidden from playing in the open legal short. Lead and unfortunately that was the end of sharifs time with us it. Just copied to him and and im sure that in the. After 2 years annoyed plan and book sharif left the g. D. R. When we discuss it among ourselves now we agree that we would never have been relegated if wed had sharif.
