Robert Shimoushili of BLUE Waters Sports Club says Jason Petrus’s death yesterday was a huge loss for the football community.<\/b><\/p>\n

Petrus (45), played for Blue Waters from 2003 through 2006, before moving to Eleven Arrows in the coast for two more seasons.<\/p>\n

Petrus was regarded as one the best ball-playing midfielders of his generation. He also played in a handful occasions for Brave Warriors, scoring a memorable goal versus Angola.<\/p>\n

\u201cOn behalf of the Blue Waters Sports Club and on my own behalf, allow me express my sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathy to everybody in the ‘Up The Birds’ Blue Waters family. In particular Hendrik David and to whomever invested lots of personal resources in building Blue Waters FC over the years which produced the quality footballer Jason Khumalo Petrus,\u201d<\/p>\n

Shimoushili made the statement in a statement.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt really is sad news to the Blue Waters family, all Namibian football loving people can remember his beautiful free kick he scored while playing for the Brave Warriors versus Angola, which contributed to the shining of the Blue Waters name worldwide,\u201d the club chairperson continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was indeed gifted with a unique left footer. Our legend is gone. There is nothing more we can say. Jason’s soul may rest in peace. Be well Jason.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
