 The diminutive player accounted for himself well with his tackling, overlapping and accurate crossing and ended up occupying the position permanently.He was part of Zambia's team at their first ever CAN outing at Egypt 1974 and played in the group phase match against Uganda which Zambia won 1–0, making a vital block of a goal-bound shot and helped Zambia qualify to the semi-finals.Afterwards, Kalambo said Buselic gave him the starting berth because he knew the Ugandans as he had played them during his time with Zambia Schools.
