Collins Mbesuma is one of the most popular and richest Association Football Player who was born on February 3, 1984 in Luanshya, Copperbelt Province, Zambia. Mbesuma was born in Luanshya. He was the son of Francis Kajiya, was also a player in the football field. He played in the midfield for Zambian clubs: Green Buffaloes FC and Ndola United FC. He also played for the national team of Zambia from the end of the 1970s to the beginning of the 1980s.
He was transferred of Kaizer Chiefs in August 2005 to Portsmouth on August 5, 2005 was one of the reasons why in the Stevens inquiry report from June 2007 raised some concerns due to Agent Willie McKay.
Mbesuma was named PSL Player of the Season in 2005 after scoring a sensational 35 goals in one season with Kaizer Chiefs. After such an achievement a move to a more prestigious league looked assured, and indeed it was enough to catch the eye of Sam Allardyce, manager of Bolton Wanderers (Le Mans UC72 looked to sign him but administrative problems didn’t allow Mbesuma to join France). However, Mbesuma was reluctant to take a trial at the club, feeling his quality was already proven, and so this allowed then-Portsmouth manager Alain Perrin to snap him up on a three-year contract in the summer of 2005. Work permit problems due to the low ranking of his country meant he was not given clearance to join the club until late into pre-season.
On 17 September 2007, Mbesuma was fined 5000 Euros by Bursaspor for failing to return on time to his Turkish base after helping Zambia to beat South Africa in an African Cup of Nations qualifier. This kind of behaviour by Mbesuma was condemned and described as irresponsible by the Zambian FA (FAZ). Mbesuma has a long-standing reputation of poor timekeeping. This problem dates back to his time at Zambian outfit Roan United. In January 2008, Mbesuma was left off the Zambian national squad at the 2008 African Cup of Nations after being declared unfit. On 23 May 2008, Mbesuma mutually terminated his contract with Bursaspor and signed with Mamelodi Sundowns. After an unimpressive stints at Mamelodi Sundowns and then Moroka Swallows FC his contract was terminated at the end of the June 2010. After being clubless for several months he joined Golden Arrows on 20 December 2010 for a six-month deal. He scored his first goals (a brace) against Amazulu on 16 January 2011.
He scored his first goal during South Africa’s Premier Soccer League in 2004 against the Black Leopards but injured himself during the match and was forced to spend many weeks in the hospital.
