I’m so sorry to hear of the loss of John Zambetakis. John was a true sportsman, he represented Tanzania in three different sports during his youth, boxing, basketball and volleyball, of which he became a National Volleyball Coach and technical brain of the game. Zambetakis was a fun and charming communicator to all volleyball lovers in Kenya, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia. He symbolised the volleyball revolution in Tanzania through the Bonite Cup and KLM Cup at the YMCA ground in Dar es Salaam. He is the one who supported me and identified my potential in Volleyball, which led me to serve at the National Sports Board ( TAVA)—thinking of the family during this difficult time.

I have been involved with sports in Tanzania as a Volleyball Coach for many years—and was a Tanzania Amateur Volleyball Association (TAVA) leader. I studied sports management at Leipzig University in Germany and understand the science behind sports. That led me to work as a football pundit, with the BBC ( Swahili service) in London. That experience and exposure took me to covering the 2010, World Cup in South Africa. This provided me with a great insight into international level football commentary and the opportunity to carry out extensive research into the game including its players, the stadiums, the rules and tactics.I have also been grateful to meet a wide range of people connected to football in the UK, Tanzania, Germany, Italy, Belgium, Ireland, France, Kenya etc, and visited almost all of the key football stadiums across United Kingdom, and Europe.
