Katongo Scoops BBC African Football Award
ZAMBIA skipper, Christopher Katongo has become the first player from southern Africa to win the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) African Footballer of the Year award, describing it as something he will always cherish for the rest of his life.
Katongo got over 40 per cent of the votes to stave off competition from 2009 BBC African Footballer of the Year award winner, Didier Drogba with his Ivorian counterpart, Yaya Toure, Senegal’s Demba Ba and Younes Belhanda of Morocco.
The inspirational Chipolopolo captain is only the third Zambian to pick up a continental accolade after legend Kalusha Bwalya won the 1988 African Footballer of the Year and Clifford Mulenga got the 2007 African Young Player of the Year.
