ReplyDeletethe legends!
ReplyDeletethese people really loved the game.times were hard those days.hakuna mafao ya kutosha wala vifaa! but people played with pure heart!
Good old days. Tofauti ya enzi hizo na sasa ni kuwa kama wachezaji tulikuwa tukipendana sana, kama familia. Kwa sisi tuliokuwa wadogo kidogo huwezi kuleta tabia mbaya uwanjani/mazoezini. Palikuwa na malezi fulani mazuri.Hii pich ya pazi ilikuwa 1989. Baadhi yetu wachezaji wa pazi na vijana tulikuwa JKT wakati huo.Hii ilifanya JKT kuwa na timu nzuri chini ya kocha Mahesa(marehemu).
ReplyDeleteChama cha mpira wa kikapu kilikuwa maskini enzi hizo lakini timu zilikuwa na moyo kiasi cha kuziba mapengo na mapungufu. Kwa sasa chama kina fedha kiasi fulani lakini timu hzaiko 'committed' kama zamani(Maoni yangu). Shukrani kwa Siu ma Kipingu, ofcourse na ankal.
