PATRICK SUFFO described winning an Olympic goal medal as an unforgettable experience.
The 30-year-old Cameroon international striker won gold for football at the 2000 Olympic Games in Sydney, Australia.
Wrexham striker Suffo, who has also won more than 40 caps for his country and also played in the 2002 World Cup finals in South Korea and Japan, was happy to show off his treasured possession after joining the Reds.
"Winning a gold medal is not something you do every day of your life as an athlete and it was very special," said Suffo.
"I was lucky enough to get to that level and it was one of the best moments of my career, I will never forget it.
"Playing for your country is always special and this was my proudest moment as a player."
