On this beautiful Sunday, I am joining all and sundry fans around the world to wish Gira Joof a happy birthday. A life full of Joy and a great carrier ahead. The forward player's alma mater is Unicorns and Fortune United. He was among the batch that qualified fortune to the second division by scoring five goals in nine games. In his first ever zonals tournament , he scored four goals for the Serekunda West team before bowing out to Serekunda East. It's on record that he scored against Manjai, BEM, Serekunda central & Lamin.
Gira Joof who is a great fan of Ronaldo de Lima, played professionally in Israel and had a fine stay with Bnei Yehude, whom he won the FA cup champions together with.
In their Youth team, U19 he scored 11 goals in 18 games while scoring five goals in four FA cup games. He became the youngest Gambian ever to play in the Europa league qualifiers. Gira who has pace and speed, is late to come to the national team's sight. however, he scored the only goal for the Gambia U23 team in their match against Morroco. Gira grew up admiring the style of play and determination of Ous Jallow and Zico.
It could be recalled that we have been following Gira's development for the past two years and the youngster is very much determined to succeed. The future is bright for Gambian football.
