Must be a safe pair of hands! Goalie for non-league London team is set to become the King of UgandaA 36-year-old British goalkeeper named George Desmond Kamurasi, who plays for a non-league London football team called SE Dons, has been selected as the new King of the Tooro Kingdom in Uganda. The decision was made by a 21-member committee following the death of the previous king, his cousin, who passed away in the U.S. from cancer. The choice has received mixed reactions in Uganda, with some welcoming the potential for new leadership and others questioning whether a foreigner should hold such a position.
