Dennis Liwewe - Zambia

If Okonkwo is known to many Nigerians, Lartey is extremely famous in Ghana, then when it comes to Zambia, Dennis Liwewe (1936-2014) can't be missed. During the glory days of 'KK 11', Liwewe's career flourished as his voice boomed. In the process of building a goal, Liwewe will hastily utter the words in her own inimitable style and end it with a thunderous shot or a terrible climax, depending on whether Zambia go ahead or behind as a result. Possessing a lot of emotion when running commentary, objectivity, for Liwewe - as well as a number of other African commentators of the period - he really considered it part of his patriotic responsibility to support his country's team against opponents from elsewhere. Liwewe, now over 70 years old and long retired, remains outspoken about the Zambian national team's fortunes, and was admitted to hospital in late 2013 for health but is now said to be recovering well.
