Proline FC striker Brain Umony has revealed how great an inspiration departed Uganda legend Jimmy Kirunda was.
Kirunda played and later coached KCCA FC where Umony was a player and the star has said the legend made them believe in themselves.
Kirunda, who was Uganda's captain during the Accra 1978 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) where the country reached the final stage, collapsed and died on Monday. His demise brought to an end one of Uganda's most successful careers at club level and with the national team.
