I called him Great Kalu, says Charles Musonda

I called him Great Kalu.. He thought I was kidding 😳

Now it’s his trademark name.. Statue figure !

Only ba Zoom and 107 Ucar deserve his accolade status in Zambia and beyond ❤️🙏

I was about 14 yrs old when Kalu started playing for Mighty, a few years later we played together for 6 months before he left for Belgium.. Kalu – Lusha was the name on everyone’s lips in Mufulira..Unbelievable 😳

He called me Charly before he changed and started calling me Mr Muzonda reasons known to himself 😂❤️

I recall him telling me every time we went into camp.. 

Charly.. Some people are born Great.. Some achieve Greatness and some have Greatness thrust upon them over and over again 😳 

Along the way I started calling him Great Kalu, after that I never heard him say that quote ever again, probably he was waiting for me to cement his belief 😳😂🤣

Fun story.. Game against Zaire at Independence 

Kalu after the nap – Charly we can’t afford to lose 

Me – Why not, Zaire is a formidable side ☹️

Kalu – Supporters will beat us 😳😌

Me – No way we can’t lose at home never never ☹️

Kalu – I needed to hear that let’s go 😳👍

88 Olympics against Italy.. Free kick 

Me – Wall taili bwino bola kuti yapita outside 😳

Kalu – yes yes oh yes namona 😳

Me – wait let them think you’re passing the ball 

Kalu – okay walk slowly.. boom GOAL 🤣🤣🤣

Great Kalu has set the highest standard for any Zambian footballer.. Unmatched achievements bravo.. 👏👏👏

Zambia will produce another African footballer of the year in the future but he’s not going to be like Kalu the one I played with at Mighty, Cercle Brugge and Zambia National team..

Maybe if I had played more years without my knee injury he was going to scoop another one, am sure he knows that 🫢😂😂
