Albert Lucky Richter 1964-2021
The much-adored dribbling wizard started his blossoming football career with ambitious Katutura youthful outfit Sorento Bucks and scored in the 2-0 win against Free State in the final of the South African Inter-Provincial Impala Cup at the old Katutura stadium in 1985. Having won every available silverware there was to be won with Bucks in the lower division, it was time for pastures green elsewhere.
Lucky found refuge with BA, where he was to form a lethal partnership with Dawid Snewe, Smithley Engelbrecht, Kandas Paulino and Croocks Casper. Arguably one of the most entertaining ‘footies' to have ever played the game on Namibian soil, the left-footed ‘Bazooka' also featured for exciting Tseiblaagte outfit Young Beauty during his high school tenure in the town of ‘Kitmaro”.
He leaves behind a stinking rich CV, which includes impressive coaching stints with the Brave Warriors and led the national Olympic team to a historic victory over the star-studded Nigeria side in a continental qualifier in Windhoek. ‘Bazooka' was chairman of BA Sport Club at the time of his demise on foreign soil. He died in the Groote Schuur Hospital in Cape Town.
