My Kenyan brother, @VictorWanyama, it was a pleasure playing against you in those East African [Uganda 🇺🇬 Vs Kenya 🇰🇪] derbies always.
You gave everything. Every sprint, every goal, every moment of brilliance told a story of passion, resilience, and unwavering dedication. You weren’t just a player—you were an inspiration. A leader on the pitch, a role model beyond it.
You carried the hopes of fans, lifted teammates in difficult times, and gave us memories that will live forever. Football may say goodbye to you as a player, but your legacy will echo in every stadium, every young dreamer, and every heart you’ve touched. Thank you for the magic. Thank you for the memories. Thank you for the game. 👏🏿✊🏿🤞🏿👊🏿
