Hi Fritz,
Thanks for the comment – I had a look and according to this Al-Jazeera post (http://www.aljazeera.com/news/2015/01/african-football-nickname-150129143710526.html) the former President Ahmadou Ahidjo named them the Indomitable Lions.
I didn’t see what I was looking for, the name of that Cameroonian who gave our national team such a brilliant name-indomitable lions. Thanks
