"The most beautiful goal that I am proud of was with Ismaily on a trip to Tunisia in 1970 against the Espérance Sportive de Tunis, where I scored a hat-trick and I am proud of the third goal for I executed it according to my thinking. There is a goal that I missed and I also regret it with Ismaily in the African Cup of Champions Clubs match against Asante Kotoko S.C., and it was a golden opportunity, and I am sorry because I remembered this goal from an easy ball that was missed. I could have changed the result and Ismaily would have won"
