2016 Fufa-Airtel Most Valuable player Muhammad Shaban was accorded a guard of honor by his fellow players prior to Onduparaka tie with Bul FC at the Greenlight.
This came just a day after a grand reception organized by the club and West Nile region football fraternity.
“I take this time to relay my sincere appreciations to all those coaches and players who were part of the initial nominations that put me in the same pot with the country’s finest players of the year,” Shaban told ChimpSport after the game.
“That alone was a dear moment in my life and it gave me hope that I can hit the summits through hardworking.”
“For the fans, I have really run out of words to thank them. They’re the reason the team is successful, the team is the reason i got there. I dedicate the award to every football fan and player in the country.”
However, in an unfortunate event, Shaban was forced out of the game due to some discomfort in his hip following a previous injury.
