whoismakoto 292 Posted June 9 Found this Afghani player who is said to have played for Fortuna Koln in the 2.Bundesliga during the 70's. Can't find any records in the internet though, whether in transfermarkt or in Fortuna Koln's records. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't find any records in the internet though, whether in transfermarkt or in Fortuna Koln's records. He's definitely bullshitting to some extent (no way does he have that number of caps for the full Afghan team, and if he played full internationals in England or Italy they'd be easily discoverable). However, there was an Abdul Ghafoor Sahebi who played for an Afghan outfit at a weird tournament in Pakistan in 1976. He probably did play as a youth international, maybe played for the B-team at Fortuna Koln or had trials, but the rest of his claims are just "bloke at the bar bullshitting". 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A regular sight at CUFC home games for decades, very approachable and a popular figure around the city He's the statue outside the ground, so he'll always be remembered. Really sad, though he's 84 so this isn't exactly early onset 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
