Ugandan footballer Fahad Musana breathed his last in a Bombo Town
makeshift video hall during the English Premier league fixture between
Manchester City and Chelsea on Sunday.
According to kawowo.com, Musana 24, collapsed immediately after Frank
Lampard scored against former club in the match that ended 1-1. Being a
staunch Chelsea die-hard, it is believed shock might have led to his
heart failure and breathing complications.
Musana, who was marking his second season with army side, Simba FC,
had featured in the opening game of his team's 1-0 Uganda Premier League
victory over Entebbe at Nakivubo Stadium on Saturday.
"He even trained with us at Bombo military Baracks stadium in the
morning of the fateful incident and completed the session well." a
seeming shocked Fred Kajoba, his coach at Simba FC said.
According to a close associate, also a teammate (Gerald Bagoole),
Musana did not complain of any illness even by the time he entered the
video hall to watch his favorite Chelsea football club.
"We trained with him on Sunday morning, had lunch together. When the
premier league matches commenced, he went to watch from near his
residence (near Namaliga - Don Bosco) and I also went to a different
video hall", Bagoole, totally in shock narrated.
Bagoole, scorer of Simba's winning penalty over Entebbe adds, Musana
successfully watched the Manchester - Leicester city game, and was keen
to watch the second game (Chelsea Vs Manchester City).
"He has been a passionate fan of Chelsea and would do anything for
the club, apart form gambling", Bagoole, who distances the deceased from
betting.
During the match which Chelsea took the lead, Bagoole looked lively
and jovial, until when Frank Lampard equalized for the Blues. At that
moment (of Frank Lampard's goal), Musana fainted and everyone in the
hall got concerned.
He was offered fresh air but all efforts were in vain as he had long
dead even before being taken to the nearby Bombo Military hospital.
