TOGETHER GAMBIAN PLAYERS CAN BE SADIO MANE

Maybe individually it might take them a life time if they want to act or become a Mane resemblance.

Gambian foreign base players are average earners compare to the Bambali born Liverpool forward who earns hundred and sixty-seven thousand dollar per week ($167k / week).

Knowing the difficulties of growing up in a poor community, Mane spent his money wisely. Giving back to the community where it all started. Building a hospital, school, mosque and supporting households.

That is what many in the Gambia would expect from Gambian players who were once street, ‘nawettan’ and divisional footballers. Having firsthand experience of playing in the farm like poor pitches across the country.

It is expected from the foreign based players to show much care to the current and generations to come. Perhaps that is as well the will of many of the players, but the fact is individually, is improbable.

What should be the easiest solution now? Collective efforts rather than scrambling for petty reputation.

If Gambian players comes and put little together and raise funds by talking to their fellow professional players who are always willing to support, they can build a new stadium, and hospitals under the name of “Gambian players” or even rehabilitate the frequently used mini-stadium for divisional and super “nawettan” matches.

Oh come on, I can hear you saying is not their responsibility. Yes you right, but who would not like history to remember him for good reasons!

Some Gambian players are doing well with their foundations, but they can do even greater if they join forces together. Collectively they can be like Sadio Mane.
