Sallieu Bundu: Commonly known as Teacher and
currently playing in the USL for the Cleveland City Stars, in USA. He
was part of the Leone Stars contingent in England in May 2007 playing
Leyton Orient and Millwall. He was instrumental in both goals against
Leyton Orient by scoring one goal and causing a penalty kick which
Mohamed Kallon scored
The City Stars took an untraditional approach in their latest
acquisition. After repeatedly being contacted by friends of Sallieu
Bundu, the Stars front office finally gave in and offered the native of
Sierra Leone a tryout. What started out as a courtesy audition turned
into an unbelievable display from the target striker as he amazed the
CCS brass with an array of offensive moves. After coming so far, Bundu
looks to continue his journey with the City Stars.
"It feels good to be in Cleveland, the people have been great to me,"
said Bundu. "It is my dream to one day play in Europe and I look at this
as a great opportunity to take my game to the next level."
City Stars Head Coach Martin Rennie was equally optimistic. "We weren't
expecting much going in but he turned out to be really good," he said. "Sallieu
is strong, works well with his back to the goal, and he's a good
finisher."
