  1. Kabwe Wariors, GBFC, Power Dynamos and Nchanga Rangers are the most veterans and consistent teams in the premier league. I dont remember these teams relegated dating way back in the 70’s and 80’s. Correct me if I am wrong.

  2. Anonymous, dont post things that you have little knowledge about! Like #3 has said, GBFC spent most of the 90’s playing division one football whereas Kabwe Warriors were relegated in 1990 to division one south together with Roan United. Both teams won promotion the following year and Warriors represented Zambia in the Mandela cup were they were eliminated by Nacional of Egypt. Warriors beat National 1-0 at Independence stadium courtesy of a Moses Masuwa strike and went on to lose by the same scoreline in Egypt despite missing a penalty in regulation time.
    I can’t blame you because Zambia today has two groups of fans. The first being all round soccer fans where i belong and the second being fans that just follow score lines. The second group is the one that started following soccer after the Gabon disaster and Iam very sure to say thats were you belong.

  3. #4 Lawrie. Why cant you you go to hell. Just respond well like a mature person, like Chanda Phiri. You think you know things and yet you are just a good for nothing ‘soccer fan’. Mwilayunfwa ba guy.

    Good. You should now appologize to “those who started following soccer after the Gabon disaster”!!!!

  5. # 2 SO WHAT!

    Go sharp razor! Go! Warriors, GBFC and ZANACO you are next at Konkola Stadium. You will fall like ZESCO.

  6. #10 Anonymous, I forgive you because the Devil is your father. I dont need your apology because you are not fit to be on this blog. I can see you are a very troubled lunatic. Shame on you.
