[MEMRES-5]...
The Olympic sweethearts who wrote Zim football story of the decade
By Robson Sharuko
It was the beautiful story that cheered the world and eclipsed the Miracle of Kinshasa which exploded just two months before the 45th anniversary of the Rumble in the Jungle.
The Cinderella adventure, which deservedly grabbed glowing headlines across the globe, and brought those trailblazers to the gates of football paradise.
Right into the home of Pele, Jairzinho, Tostao, Falcao, Romario, Rivellino, Careca, Carlos Alberto, Zico, Garrincha, Socrates and, of course, the original Ronaldo.
And, there, they played on the very famed pitches which have been the breeding grounds for some of the world’s greatest football superstars whose skills illuminated this game and gave it its touch of beauty.
Somehow, against all odds, including a chaotic domestic football leadership that appeared desperate to destroy their dreams, they marched until they reached the Promised Land.
