NKANA skipper Sydney Kalume on Thursday donated a set of jerseys worth K1, 000 to his former side Lions of Kanyama.
Speaking during the presentation ceremony in Lusaka, Kalume said the donation was meant to encourage young players at the club to realise their dream.
Kalume said football has become big business world over.
He is happy that a number of youths in Kanyama are keen to take up the sport.
Kalume urged the players to be disciplined if they are to reach higher heights.
“I’m in my current position today because I’m disciplined and do not take any alcohol. These young players should take a leaf from me if they are to be like me or even surpass my record,” said Kalume, who was part of the national team that finished third at the Council of East and Central Africa Football Associations (CECAFA) Senior Challenge Cup in Kenya.
He was also a member of the Chipolopolo squad that won the 2013 COSAFA Castle Senior Challenge Cup which was staged in Zambia.
And Lions of Kanyama chairman Holland Silwimba thanked Kalume for the gesture.
Silwimba said Kalume is the second player to render support to the club after midfielder Nathan Sinkala, who features for Democratic Republic of Congo side TP Mazembe.
“Our club has produced a number of good players and it gives us joy when we see our children coming back to support us,” he said.
