My Best Club
Ziscosteel FC remains the best outfit. They gave birth to my career and whenever I wore their jersey, I felt honoured that I had become the soul of the team. I used to give it all I had whenever I was in the field representing Zisco. I am who I am today because of the foundation I got there from the days I was a junior player.
My Best teammate
The now late Newman Bizerk was a complete player. He was a good man-marker and that allowed me the liberty to venture upfront without having to worry much about quick counter-attacks.
My Best stadium
Ziscosteel’s home ground, Torwood Stadium, was a slaughter house in which we destroyed a number of visiting teams. It had a heavy turf and our training sessions there worked to our advantage whenever we met our opponents.
My Best coach
All coaches who handled me, because they left a positive mark in my game, which they improved tremendously. They are the ones that shaped my style of play.
My Best season
My best season was in 1994, when I joined Lancashire Steel, a then First Division side that I helped gain promotion into the premier league by scoring crucial goals.
My Best ever Zimbabwean player
Stanley “Sinyo” Ndunduma was of a rare talent.
My Best opponent
I came across a number of talented players, from which I can’t single anyone out. They all were good and helped me improve my game.
My Best Message from a coach
My former Zambian mentor, Freddy Mwila, who joined Ziscosteel in 1984 and told me that I was destined to play for my country as long as I remained disciplined, focused, determined and worked hard even on my own. He gave me a book written by a Zambian commentator and in it, I found that he was the first Zambian player to play in England for Aston Villa. The discovery inspired me a lot.
