Name the players and tournament they played at….
This is easy, apart from Kalusha (Captain) and Super Ash, behind him the rest perished off the Coast of Gabon. Tournament yena katwishi.
AFCON 92
From Top left Timothy Mwitwa, Deby Makinka, Maybin Mugaiwa Robert Watyakeni, Eford Chabala, Eston Mulenga, Asshiols Melu, Squating from left Watson Changwe, Samuel Chomba, John Soko and Kalusha Bwalya
You have almost hit the nail on it’s head. It is from AFCON 92, where Zambia were beaten by Ghana 1-0, through a cracking Abedi Pele shoot from outside the D-zone that gave no chance to late Efford Chabala (late MHSRIP)
I watched all the games Zambia played including the win over Egypt
A point of correction is the player standing after Derby Makinka, that is late Webby Chikabala formerly of Vitafoam, Nchanga Rangers and Maritimo of Portugal
Cheers my man
Thanks
yes. Mukishi joe(chikabala)
The picture is now clear yesterday i was only able to see less than half big linos head i cant forget his face
Correction. Standing Top left to right, Timothy Mwitwa,Derby Makinka,Webster Chikabala, Linos Makwaza,Efford Chabala,Estone Mulenga and Ashios Melu. Then squating from left to right, Whiteson Changwe, Samuel Chomba, John Soko and Great Kalu.
Timothy, makinka., chikabala, makwaza chabala, Eston, melu.
Squatting. Changwe chomba soko kalu Senegal 92
Makwaza is not in the image above though he was in the trup to the finals. The coach was the late ba Zoom
Standing: Timothy, makinka., chikabala, Watiyakeni, chabala, Eston, melu.
Squatting. Changwe chomba soko kalu Senegal 92
Ba Linos is the one between ba Chabala and Webster chikabala.
AFCON 1992 SENEGAL
Standing left to right: Timothy Mwitwa, Derby Makinka, Webster Chikabala, Robert Watyakeni, Efford Chabala, Eston Mulenga, Ashios Melu,
Squatting left to right: Whiteson Changwe, Samuel Chomba, John Soko, Kalusha Bwalya.
Oops, Linos Makwaza, and NOT Robert Watyakeni.
It is Watiyakeni
Really? Then what position was he playing? Because the back four and midfield is already covered by Soko, Changwe, Melu, Eston, Chomba and Makinka. It is indeed Makwaza.
Good question! Its actually Makwaza
Imwe ba Justice. That’s Makwaza
King Kalu is always on every Throwback picture….. and is still most talked about…. To all you late sons of mother Zambia what you fought for since 1964 your captain then managed to bring it in 2012. You went knowing him as a great player and bet right now you are smiling that he is A good FA president Zambia has ever had since in memorial. He will take us to the world we believe…..
Billy is right, though slightly obscured, that is Linos Makwaza not Watyakeni. However, in the later games (should’ve been Quarter final game against Cote D’Ivoire) Watyakeni did play.
Agreed:
It is true Chikabala played in the first game vs Egypt and was used as a sub in the next 1 or 2 games. Watiyakeni came in as sub in the game vs Ghana
The 1/4 final game was vs Ivory Coast who beat us 1-0. Ivory Coast went on to win 11-10 on penalties vs Ghana
Yes, after Chikabala it is Makwaza.
That game which Zambia (KK 11) lost to Ghana via an Abedi Pele goal, was really a tight game.
Kalusha scored the only goal when KK11 beat The Pharaohs 1-0.
Robert Watiyakeni came on to replace Ashios Melu late in the game against Egypt.
I was 4 years old
Why did great Kalu not play against ivory coast?
He did play, Zambia lost 1-0 scored in 94 minute by Sie
Sie the light skinned chap who later went to be jailed in France for child molesting I think
I have the game on vhs, i have to check one of these days but i dont remember him playing. It was bad game, zambia only scored one goal in the whole tournament. There was no Charlie cool either.
And only conceded 2 goals because then we had few teams. 3 Teams in a group in First round, two qualifying to quarter finals from 4 groups!
the only goal was scored by kalu. nicely chested it down dawn though it looked like a handball, maybe its because I was watching it on black and white with showers on the screen since the aerial was outside.
Yes Kalu handled the ball before scoring.Egyptian players raised their hands in protest but the ref let the goal stand.
hahaha awe mwe arial was outside Ku mango tree.
We complain about Kalu’s running of FAZ but what jerseys are those? Kalu is not a saint but a lot has improved.
Adidas, Zambia looked good adidas, same as Germany and France had.
You have a point man
Mr justice. can u please contact me on this number. +260 979506925
via watsapp please
I was in the village by then , I didn’t even know how a TV set looked like. Came to start watching TV in 1993 on April 2, I can’t forget that one.
At least it wasn’t on 1st April lol!
@ Noble yabena Lungu, but now you’re the abasambashi. That’s inspiring to chipolopolo players too.
And the headlines in Zambia were
“Zoom must go.”
It is Makwaza indeed I was just one month into my new Job when these guys perished and I knew ba Melu and Kalu’s Family personally in Mufulira when I was transferred there. I also met Makwaza in Kitwe including tenant Chilumba and some of the current FAZ officials. I, too, Ba Kashimoto personally.
I meant when some of these guys perished and I cried because We lost patriotic Zambian Sons.
Where is that THROWBACK THURSDAY critic ifwe tuli busy tulesambilila.
Yep. Looks like the 92 AFCON team
Ifwe ninshi tatulasalapuka .
That’s definitely Linos Makwaza. I remember him from watching the game against Morocco when he got subbed for Munaile in the early exchanges because he got kicked in the nose, and also his cracking goal in the next game against st SA when we beat them 3-0 pa independence stadium
You are greatly missed guys………….rest in peace.
This blog is quite interesting and people are making me look very aged, very ancient and like a national archive. Mu 1992 some of you were 4 and may be younger, or still unborn? Interesting- no wonder we have such an array of blogs, the envy of every blogger from around the continent.
I should change my blog name from Kasama Boy to Kasama Shikulu Bantu pantu in 1992, specifically on 2nd July, I returned with a Master’s Degree in Architecture after 2 years of study in Finland.
When those dear lovely souls perished a year later, I was in Lusaka. I cried like a baby. More from my love of soccer, the players themselves and patriotism.
The Finland that I went to and the Finns I met, made one realise he was a foreigner, a black and almost like a pest in their country. (Suffice to say we were only 13 Zambians-called there for studies by their President Koivisto, a very close friend of KK-All in all there were almost 100 Africans most of who had entered the country as refugees from Somalia, especially after being chased from Russia after its economy went down under perestroika).
This strengthened my love for mother Zambia, and has since made me a very proud Zambian and a true and full blooded Chipolopolo. Win or Lose.
Kasama Boy I clearly understand your cries with regard to how you were treated in Finland. It boils down to exposure. Some people only know their small world. And they are not willing to experience change.
@ba Kasama shikulu bantu, I 4 one enjoy this segiment coz i learn a lot and its interestin 2 see tht Zambia once had a jersey which made them look like Orlando Pirates and i hv been seeing sum awful lookin past jerseys a lot has changed kanshi.
What is the news
