Youngsters hardly spoke with KCCA FC senior stars - Kyetume FC's Kayizzi

Kyetume FC captain Vincent Kayizzi has recalled how he interacted with senior Kampala Capital City Authority FC when he signed for them as a student in 2003.

Kayizzi was spotted by the Kampala side in a friendly between Standard High and Police and coach Sam Ssimbwa ensured he signed for the heavyweights thereafter.

The veteran Ugandan coach had described Kaizyizzi as 'a gem who only needed polishing' which meant he had seen a bright future in the boy.
