The late star, who was the first from his country to play in Europe, passed on in Belgium on Tuesday
Gent have paid tribute to former player Leon Mokuna following his death on Tuesday, January 28 at the age of 90.
He grew up in Leopoldville (now Kinshasa), Democratic Republic of Congo, before being discovered by Portuguese side Sporting Lisbon in 1954.
His move to Portugal saw him become the first player from the Central African nation to play in Europe, which paved the way for other stars in the following decades.
