THE much touted Warriors Legends versus Barcelona Legends match has been thrown into turmoil after Ephraim Chawanda one of the ex-players named in the Zimbabwe Legends squad distanced himself from the high profile encounter set for the National Sports on Sunday.

Dream Team skipper Chawanda, who captained Reinhard Fabisch’s Dream Time to the brink of World Cup qualification in 1993, used his Facebook wall Wednesday morning to distance himself from the match, just four days before the event.

Chawanda is based in Botswana.

“My friends and family have been misled by the media that I will be in Zimbabwe for a certain game in Harare, its a lie. For those who put my name on such a list without consulting me, for lack of better words, PLEASE GO TO HELL, I cannot be part of disorganisation or a circus that disrespects former footballers,” wrote Chawanda

Charles Yohane, Kaitano Tembo, Norman Mapeza and Dumisani Mpofu are some of the defenders in the Legends squad.

Also in the squad are Peter Ndlovu, Moses Chunga and Benjani Mwaruwari.

The selection of the Legends team has stirred debate following the omission of some former players like Ronald “Gidiza” Sibanda and Luke Petros Jukulile from the list.

The inclusion of the likes of Edward Sadomba who achieved virtually nothing in Warriors colours has also been met with grumblings within the football fraternity.
