Pierre Ndaye Mulamba

Pierre Ndaye Mulamba (4 November 1948 – 26 January 2019) was a footballer from the Democratic Republic of the Congo, formerly Zaire, who played as a forward. He was nicknamed "Mutumbula" ("assassin") and "Volvo". In 1973, he starred for AS Vita Club of Kinshasa, who won the African Cup of Champions Clubs. In 1974 Mulamba played for Zaire in both the African Cup of Nations in Egypt and the FIFA World Cup in West Germany. In Egypt he scored nine goals, still a record, as Zaire won the tournament. Mulamba was named Player of the Tournament and was awarded the National Order of the Leopard by President Mobutu Sese Seko. Zaire were already losing 4–0 by then, and finally lost 9–0. On returning to Zaire, he was shot in the leg by robbers who mistakenly assumed a former sports star would be a wealthy target. He also met with Danny Jordaan, head of the organising committee for the 2010 FIFA World Cup.
