Veteran Nkana striker Douglas Chiwaya has declared he has no intention to retire from active football any time soon.
Chiwaya, who turns 42 this year, is one of the longest serving players in the Super Division.
In an interview with with LT Sports in Kitwe on Monday,the former Power Dynamos and Kitwe United player insisted he will continue playing for as long as his legs take him towards the oppositions goalmouth.
“I am not retiring. Even this year I will continue playing,” Chiwaya said.
“As you can see, I am not injured and I am fit! So why should I stop playing,” he add.
Chiwaya,who is also a miner at Mopani Copper Mines in Kitwe, said he has already started looking forward to the 2012 season.
” I want my team Nkana to perform better this year. It was good we finished in the top eight,” he said.
“I think this year we (Nkana) can even finish in the top four if we play well,” Chiwaya stressed.
YES, WAIT UNTIL YOU ARE 65YRS. THAT IS THE RETIREMENT AGE IN ZAMBIA.
That is if you desire to continue working.
Wait until your legs are swollen. There are young boys who are physically fit than you. Ba kakupantisha.
if this guy is 42 on paper and in the media being a footballer it means he is 52+ in reality. Mwana bako serious and head to the farm
Am sure Douglas is one of the few who gave their real age when he was in his youth. Because in footbal that 42 on record would mean 52 in actual.
Let him continue if he can and if he is good.Remember Roger Miller who scored in the world cup at 45 years and introduced dancing amasha after scoring. Mwandi Douglas don’t listen to these makulas who can even lift thier legs.
Wow that is good
Tha has told you he is 42 and you say he is lying and must be 52.Looking at Douglas he seem to be around 42 .
Ba dagi pls give your best we are behind you this year
gogogogogogogo mwandi go ahead
dont retire = more money in your pocket
Thats the spirit Ba Douglas….nifi bola fye ifii kulafichayafye!!!
Thanks Douglas! Good spirit! Stay positive and you can contribute to resurrect out team! Nkana supporter!
