About Gibby Mbasela
Biggie Mbasela, better known as Gibby Mbasela was a Zambian footballer who played for Kalulushi Modern Stars, Mufulira Wanderers, Nkana Red Devils, 1. FC Union Berlin of Germany and Tunisian champions Esperance. Renowned for his dribbling skills, Mbasela was voted Zambian Footballer of the Year in 1990. Early in his career, a newspaper report erroneously gave his first name as Gibby and this was the name he would be known by throughout his career. With his distinctive 'table-cut' hairstyle, Mbasela created so many opportunities for his strike partner and also weighed in with a fair number of goals. He was man of the match in the Heroes & Unity Cup final which Nkana won by beating Kabwe Warriors 2–0, scoring the first goal with a glorious strike and setting up the second for Beston Chambeshi.
