Members of the football fraternity, family members and friends paid their last respects to the late George Chigova at a memorial service last night.

The service was held at the AFM Church in Kempton Park, Ekurhuleni.

The attendance at the Church was evident that the late goal-minder Chigova was much loved by a large amount of people.

Football personalities and club bosses and administrators who attended the service are SuperSport United CEO Stan Matthews, Andre Arendse, Ian Gorowa who is now a pastor and Chigova’s home boys such as Khama Billiat, Tendai Ndoro, former Zimbabwean left-back Innocent Chikoya and goalkeeper Tapuwa Kapini.

“Big George” will be repatriated on Wednesday where he will be laid to rest at his hometown in Chivhu, Zimbabwe.

Rest in peace Zikeeper!
