      Off the top of my head I'll take. I think some of the older poster's may be able to name some of the older guys I missed.

      Azumah Nelson
      **** Tiger
      Ayub Kalue
      Sumbu Kalambay
      Ike Quartey
      John Mugabi
      Brian Mitchell
      Jacob Matlata
      Vic Toweel
      Khalid Rahilou or Josh Clottey


      Also no Marcel Cerdan, he was a pied-noir Frenchman and not an Algerian at all.

        Kalambay and Kalule were the obvious omissions I was talking about.

          Hogan "Kid" Bassey deserves a mention.

            Popularity wise, the current most popular would be Clottey.
