Over 300 people of Jalloh’s closest friends, family and club members showed up to celebrate with the retired soccer player on this once–in-a-life-time surprise birthday.  Almost all the people that gathered in the hall were gathered in harmony for the great bash which included dancing, gifts and cutting of cake.

He debuted professional soccer in 1979 and played until 1990 before he migrated to the United States. During his illustrious career, he influenced a multitude of soccer fans including some of his professional friends like Alhaji Sesay, Idrisa Police Kamara, and even his trainer, Diebo Sherrington. Every soccer fan during his illustrious playing career admired his brilliance in doing the impossibility of saving possible goals in his defense.

Among the speakers were Jalloh’s friends, Patrick Dangawalli who is also a retired soccer player and Alhaji Sesay, a former Diamond Stars player, currently a resident in Texas.
