From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
David Efford Chabala (* February 2, 1960 - † April 28, 1993) was Zambia's first choice goalkeeper from 1983 until his untimely death off the Gabonese coast 1993. He first established himself in the club side Mufulira Wanderers before succeeding Ghost Mulenga as number one in the Zambian goal. He was instrumental in Zambia's first-ever cup success when he saved three penalties in Zambia's 3-0 penalty victory over Malawi at the 1983 East and Central Africa Challenge Cup final after a 0-0 draw at full time.
He remained Zambia's first choice goalkeeper until his death in the air crash that killed the entire Zambia national football team off the coast of Gabon on April 28, 1993. Chabala's club career was predominantly at Mufulira Wanderers but he had a brief spell in Argentina with Argentinos Juniors.
