someone fill in the blanks please…
The very Patrick Phiri was playing pa 9, hmmmn @Mature give us honesty data, because even the G. Buffaloes lineup you put was the National Team.
Please do not give us wrong information. kindly mention the period at which this GBFC line was active. However, let me remind of the GBFC, I know at the time we were growing up in Matero.
GBFC Line up-1980-1985;
Michael Bwalya, Milton Muke, Jack Simbule, Emmy Musonda/Robert Lutoba, KK/Jones Chilenji, Christ Kaoma/Felix Tonto, Francis Kanjiya/ Pele Kainama,Jack Simulambo, Peter Tembo/Thomas Mvula, Obby Kapita, Pele Kainama.
Red Arrows;
Gost Mulenga, Bernard, Shadrick Malambo, Paul Chifwembe, Martin Besa, Aron Chungu, Funny Hangunyu/Julius Shalomwa, Patrick Phiri,……………..this is what I can remember. Please feel free complete the list.
Title should be Arrows pierce Buffaloes…
Thank you! Bakalamba! These are clearly Hamasaka’s products. How does an arrow gore u?
there was no Jack simulambo. It was Jani Simulambo and Jack Simbule. GBFC 1980s: Michael “Spinks” Bwalya- Milton Muke- Jack Simbule- Emmy Musonda- Kampela Katumba- Peter Tembo- Francis Kajiya – Jani Simulambo- Pelle Kaimana- Obby Kapita- Thomas Mvula,
Players like Vincent Chileshe and Jones Chilemgi also eatured round about this time, while players from the Zambia Army days, like Joseph Chomba, Dick Chama, Daniel Yobe, Robert “barbed wire” Lutoba had retired or were on their way out. If memory serves me right, Colonel Brightwell Banda was head coach. Dick Chama later took over.
Gone are the days…..
Choose your best Zambia XI of all time. This is mine
1] Emmanuel Mwape
2] Edwin Mbaso
3] Jack Simbule
4] Dick Chama
5] Kampela Katumba
6] Samuel “Zoom” Ndhlovu
7] “Chairman” Moses Simwala
8] Jani simulambo “Minister of midfield”
9] Alex Chola
10] “Ucar” Godfrey Chitalu
11] Peter Kaumba
Second line up would be as follows:
1] Tolomeo Mwansa
2] Milton Muke
3] Evans Katebe
4] Robert Lutoba
5] Dickson Makwaza
6] Boniface Simutowe
7] Jack Chanda
8] Willie Phiri
9] Bernard “Bomber” Chanda
10] Boniface “Killer” Chanda
11] Kalusha Bwalya
Am not saying these were the best players in their positions. They just happen to be my favourite. Others include GKs. Michael Bwalya, Ghost Mulenga, RB. Peter Mhango, Bernard “Tools” Mutale, LB. Kaizer…
