“Eddie “Mboma” Nyatanga is No more?A larger than life character in its real sense. Go well genuine football supporter. We will never forget our eating nest at your place in Belgravia in the late 1990s when I cut my journalism teeth. You united football waring parties. Always joking.I remember when you strangely invited for lunch one day when I had written critically about Moses Chunga only to find Bambo was also there. My heart pounded thinking I would get my hiding but you had softened Moses Chunga who would turn out to be my buddie because he believed I had written a balanced story that day.Rest in Peace Mboma,” said Rushwaya.
