New signing will bring star quality to Saints Daily Echo
It is a mark of the young man that in his greatest moment of triumph and glory, the significance of what he and his teammates had achieved was not lost on him.
Zambia - nicknamed 'The Copper Bullets' - had just stunned the footballing world by beating the megastar Ivory Coast team to win the African Cup of Nations for the first time ever earlier this
They returned home to a hero's welcome, jet fighters screaming overhead,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], army trucks waiting to transport the players to huge public events and thousands upon thousands of fans there to greet them.
Some had walked for as long as 15 hours to pay tribute to their idols,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
But,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in amongst all that joy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], was an outpouring of emotion expressed by Mayuka.
It was back in 1993 that a Zambian military plane crashed into the ocean,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], killing 25 players and officials on board.
This achievement was for them, a tribute, as Mayuka put it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], to something they were robbed of the chance of doing themselves.
Mayuka was the undisputed Zambian star of the tournament, taking the Golden Boot as joint top scorer with three goals and also netting in the nerve-wracking penalty shootout that settled the final.
Manchester City defender Kolo Toure and Arsenal forward Gervinho both missed their penalties for Ivory Coast.
Mayuka started his footballing career by joining the Lusaka Academy in Zambia aged 11 before joining one of the country's biggest club sides, Kabwe Warriors.
It didn't take long for his goalscoring prowess to attract attention from elsewhere and he switched to Israeli club Maccabi Tel Aviv in 2008.
In two campaigns in Switzerland he plundered 32 league and cup goals which brought him to the attention of numerous clubs around Europe,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], including Saints, who tied up a £3.5m deal to bring him to
England.
Mayuka, pictured, shouldn't be short of match fitness as he has already played seven Swiss League games in 2012/13, their season having started back in mid-July.
He netted twice in his first three games,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but did not score in his last four prior to joining Saints.
Last season he netted eight league goals for Young Boys, who finished third in the Swiss League.
In 2010/11, he had Europa League experience, netting three goals for Young Boys.
Having travelled so much at just 21- years-old,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], moving to England holds no fears for Mayuka.
He has already said: "No matter where you move as a player,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you always have to adapt to different cultures.
"It's part and parcel of being a footballer."
With a work permit secured and a five-year contract agreed, there is speculation he could even figure for Saints against Manchester United this Sunday.
