Kenyan international Masoud Juma has apologised to Gor Mahia and AFC Leopards fans for his 'small teams' comment made on the two of Kenya's most successful clubs, two years ago.
At the time, the Algerian-based forward, who turns out for Jeunesse Sportive de Kabylie (JS Kanylie) claimed he could not turn out for the two teams as they are small.
Juma had just finished the 2017 KPL season as the top scorer with 17 goals for Kariobangi Sharks and when asked about the possibility of switching clubs the following season, he played down any possibility of moving to neither Gor nor Leopards.
"I can't tell where I will be next year because I still have a contract with Sharks. But if I am to move from Sharks, it wont be to join AFC Leopards or Gor Mahia. It will be to join a bigger team," Juma was quoted by the Nation in December 2017.
However, the remarks did not go down well with a section of K'Ogalo army and Ingwe adherents.
Incidentally, he has never settled since then, with the Harambee Stars striker and 2017 Kenyan Premier League top scorer turning out for four clubs in a span of two years.
But a remorseful Masoud has now taken to social media to pen an emotional apology to the local Kenyan fans.
"A day like this two years ago I had a misunderstanding with fans especially from Gor mahia and AFC. It was a bad show for sure but nothing has lost," he posted on his official Facebook page.
"Today I just want to ask for their forgiveness from the bottom of my heart. It happens in football," he submitted.
The apology elicited mixed reactions online with a section of fans accepting the apology while others could have none of it.
