On Saturday 2 April, despite heavy rain battering Mauritius, five players from the MCB Football Academy Elite, namely Zaaid Narojee, Abhaye Bhoyrah, Isamel Roosse, Sheldon Armance and Aylan Appollon had the opportunity of a lifetime to meet two retired footballing giants, namely Robbie Fowler and Gordon Strachan.

Both had stellar careers at club level (Liverpool, Manchester United, Leeds) and for the England and Scotland national teams. Fowler and Strachan were in Mauritius to play in the Celebrity Pro-Am, a golf competition that is part of the MCB Tour Championship.
