'Unprofessionalism' almost made me quit football - AFC Leopards legend Okwemba

AFC Leopards legend Charles Okwemba has revealed he almost quit football due to unprofessionalism.

The 40-year has spent more than two decades on the pitch and is remembered as one of the finest midfielders Kenya had ever produced. Okwemba made his debut in the Kenyan Premier League (KPL) in 1998 while at Shabana FC despite being just 17-years-old and in high school.

"I am a fighter and love football, but unprofessionalism from players, administrators and fans piss me off," Okwemba told Goal on Monday.
