[Albion] Kazenga Lua Lua: post-Albion

[Uh_huh_him]

What a player he was for us..
Easy to forget.

My kids come to one game a year with me (on sufferance)... but they absolutely love Kaz..

All the best Kaz and thanks for the memories

 

[DavePage]

Best wishes to him, I hope he really does well.
If only he wasn’t prone to the injuries and had a better discipline to stay on his feet rather the go for the free-kick, he could have been a legend.

Kaz stay on your feet, have some belief, your good enough to come again…Good luck and thank you

 

[Blue3]

Good luck Kaz thank you for some truly great memories hope you stay fit and rip the league to bits as we know you can

 

[sussex_guy2k2]

A really brilliant player to watch when injury free and playing at the right level. Good luck to him.

 

[DJ NOBO]

Still amazes me that the RB he sat down on that run down the left wing was Simon Francis who's now played 3 seasons in the Premier League with Bournemouth

He destroyed John stones too. Over and over again

 

[Dolph Ins]

Good luck and thanks. One of the most exciting /frustrating players I have seen in the stripes.

 

[The Birdman]

Good luck Kaz don't overdo the goal celebrations and get injured however I loved them he was entertaining player always a buzz when he came on as super sub..

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Good luck to him – top player at his prime and a big favourite of the Bobkin Jnrs at that time.

Was never going to break back into the squad here, but hopefully he can do a job for the Mackems.

Cheers Kaz!

 

[The Sock of Poskett]

Genuine box office at his best - hope he can recapture that and kick start his career again.
Thanks for the goals, the step overs, the speed merchantry and the acrobatics Kaz - all the best to an Albion entertainer ��

 

[Guinness Boy]

At his best the most flair player in the squad with a fearsome shot. At his worst massively frustrating, slowing down the play and repeating the same trick over again. But he had far more good moments than bad and goes with immense thanks for some very happy memories.

He was my son's first Albion hero. He still talks about a moment many may have forgotten as it wasn't a goal. In the Cup game against Reading we were winding down the clock. Rather than just take it in to the corner he beat their full back over and over again before nonchalantly kicking it off the full back's shins to win a corner and raising his arms to get the crowd off their feet. Because it was the cup we'd moved from back of WSU to the front of the WSL and it happened right in front of us.

Of course one or two of the goals, and their celebrations, were pretty special too.

 

[Worried Man Blues]

There was always a buzz when he came on, need to get his gloves out for up there

 

[Taybha]

He made you start edging up out of your seat in anticipation of what was to come next , in any situation Kaz was a player i loved to watch even when he was having a bad game his sheer love of the game was obvious in his overblown frustration with himself , the saddest thing about losing Kazenga is that his signature song was very catchy and easy to learn as even the ESU were known to join in at times , so long Kazenga , LUA LUA .

True.

Farewell to the least comprehensible Twitter account I've ever seen too. Fam.

You've clearly never followed Leon Knight.

 

[Marshy]

Good luck Fella - thanks for the memories

 

[Munkfish]

The Start of the Championship season when we ended up 3rd. My god what a player, I thought he had finally clicked as a player, but sadly went on to get injured and never seemed to get back into our team.

Wish him all the best, does that just leave Murrray in the squad who played at Withdean? Or did Dunky make an appearance or two for the first team back at Withdean?

Loved that. Special memory

 

[Monkey Man]

I remember when we signed him and being incredibly excited that a player like that would choose Brighton.

Just hope he gets a regular spot at Sunderland though I have a nagging feeling those days may be over. Good luck to him, he'll always have a warm welcome in Brighton I'm sure.

Dunk played three games at Withdean, Sidwell is the only other one that played for us there.

Edit. There's a thread on it

Farewell Kaz. I'll miss your utterly insane (and completely unique) way of playing football.

That moment features in the first video posted on this thread, GB...

And the second one, as it turns out!
