World's Longest Substitution?

In February 2003 Canada played Libya in a friendly soccer match. The Libyans were particularly grateful as they were having difficulty in attracting opponents to play them at home. So grateful that a few moments after Canada made it 3-1, Saadi Gaddafi, son of Libya leader Muammar al-Gaddafi and member of the Libyan national soccer team, when being substituted out of the match, made the point of shaking the hand of every single Canadian players on the field before he departed. He wasn't done there, proceeding to shake the hands of all of Canadian coaches, staff and players on the bench. And to prove that he's not without a sense of humour, check out what he does at the end of the video to the Libyan police officer.....

I am not good at writing starter confusing to capital words in 10 months ago. I know his father Gaddafi is dead one years ago, and this man is a stupid football players now he arrested.

Except this time he wasn't being forced off the pitch by Americans because Libya didn't want to give them oil, bombarding the pitch along the way and screaming GIVE US OIL OR DEMOCRACY SHALL COME UPON YOU.
