Former Chipolopolo player Philemon Mulala has reportedly died in South Africa.
The Football Association of Zambia (FAZ) has since joined the Football World in mourning the late Mulala.
“The Football Association of Zambia joins the rest of the football family in mourning former Mufulira Wanderers and Zambia National Team star Philemon Mulala. The former KK11 star died in South Africa after reportedly being attacked by his own dogs.”
Mulala was notably part of the 1984 East and Central Africa Challenge squad under Colonel Brightwell Banda that won the trophy.
FAZ General Secretary Adrian Kashala says the football family had lost a gallant soldier.
“We remain with wonderful memories that the late Philemon honoured us with on the pitch. There is a lot that today’s players can learn from the deceased’s generation,” Kashala said.
