Dear Maurice. Life has a way of bringing people together. We got to know you via your brother, Derek in Abu Dhabi. Whem we first met, our conversation somehow led us to football and the invaluable work you were doing to coach children play football. We continued to connect on WhatsApp and you subsequently inspired and helped our daughter Sidi to join the Abu Dhabi French football team for children. Thanks for coaching, inspiring and helping start her passion. She now wants to be a footballer and football coach so I am sure she will keep your football candle lit. You touched many hearts directly and indirectly. The children you coached are part of your legacy. You will be dearly missed. RIP my dear brother!
