73-year-old former Uganda Cranes international Abbey Nasur Muteguya is currently confined in a wheel-chair due to his deteriorating health status.

Throughout the entire Naguru Remand II cell in Nakawa Division where his home is located, he remains a popular figure.

To reach his house, you skip the infamous stinking gutters and ram shackled building units, typical in all favelas world-over.

The legend stays with his loyal dear wife, two of his 50 years plus sons and other members of the extended family.

At his home is where the crowning for the winners of the August 2025 in the monthly Fortebet Real Stars was executed.

Nasur, who featured at two Africa Cup of Nations (1974 and 1978), won three CECAFA senior challenge Cup titles was recognized with the Life Time Achievement award.

“I am extremely happy to be remembered” a seemingly weak Nasur stammered in his acknowledgement speech.

Nasur is among the few living former Uganda Cranes players who played in the final of the 1978 AFCON against hosts Ghana in Kumasi city.

“I thank all those who have visited me at home and presented me with the award and other gifts” he added.

Sports personalities and politicians led by Gomba East MP contestant Mary Flavia Namulindwa also offered the ailing legend cash, a cock and a bunch of matooke.

“It is always important to recognize such persons for their contribution they have done for support. Today, we hand over to Nasur to say thank you for the work he served over the years” Isaac Mukasa, executive director of the Real Stars Sports Agency spoke.

Nasur played for five clubs; Young Salumbey, Naguru Youth, Prisons FC, Maragoli FC and Gor Mahia Football in Kenya.

He then coached several clubs in Uganda and Kenya (Coffee Board of Kenya, Metal Box, Stima, Impala Aliwatanya and Gor Mahia. In Uganda he coached KCC and Maji FC.

Relatedly, the rally crew of Ponsiano Lwakataka and Paul Musaaizi returned to the podium as victors in the motorsport circle.

Vipers and Uganda Cranes defender Rogers Torach Ochaki was outstanding in football, beating national teammates Reagan Mpande and Allan Okello.
