Said Jere:<\/p>\n<p>The Premier Soccer League joins the rest of the football community in mourning our legend David \u201cBroom Boy\u201d George.<\/p>\n<p>George was an iconic member of our family who distinguished himself as a lethal forward at Dynamos and then did very well as a coach.<br \/>\nHe also helped identify and nurture many of our young players who then grew to become stars in our game.<\/p>\n<p>A very humble man, George was one of the nicest guys in our game and his absence will be greatly felt.<\/p>\n<p>It has been a difficult year for us as we have lost many of our pillars in the game including Rahman Gumbo and George Chigova.<\/p>\n<p>We owe it to them to continue developing our football and ensuring that the top-flight league continue to flourish.<\/p>\n<p>To the George family, in particular, and the football family in general, we want to assure you that we are with you during these tough times.<\/p>\n<p>George was a winger remembered for his dribbling skills, hence the nickname \u201cBroom Boy\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>He was one of the younger players in the Dynamos team of the 1970s \u2014 along with Kuda Muchemeyi, David Mandigora, Edward Katsvere and Sunday Chidzambwa.<\/p>\n<p>Following his retirement, George pursued a career in coaching and worked alongside the late Muchemeyi as an assistant to Chidzambwa during Dynamos\u2019 1998 run to the CAF Champions League final.<\/p>\n<p>Ten years later, George was Mandigora\u2019s deputy when the Glamour Boys were eliminated at the semi-final stage of the CAF Champions League by Cotonsport Garoua of Cameroon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
