Kenyatta University student Kelvin Kiplimo Kirwa has proved the saying that all our dreams are valid. For Kelvin, being a football fan is a calling and addictive.
Football jerseys, especially match day shirts, are priceless possessions that most fans long to have but only a few get them.
To achieve his dream, Kirwa last Sunday, stunned many when he
made a banner for Gor Mahia striker Jacques Tuyisenge asking for his jersey after their 1-0 win over Petro Atletico at Moi Sports Center Kasarani.
And late last year, Kirwa was on the hunt for Tottenham Hotspur star Victor Wanyama’s shirt.
The Kenyatta University student got the number 12 jersey following frenzied appeals on social media after Kenya’s clash against Ethiopia. What is the end game? Just football craze.
Sure enough after the banner got Wanyama’s eye, the boy was rewarded.
Kirwa’s appetite for these jerseys are growing bigger and every big football game that comes into town brings a different surprise for the 22 year old fan.
