INFO:

Jones Chilengi was important member of the team during the 1980s, captained them when they won CECAFA Cup in 1984 (the first ever cup won by them) and needs to be here.
Also Alex Chola should be in best XI, basically every source ranks him as the third best Zambian footballer after Chitalu and Bwalya and also caps/goals/importance speak for themselves.
