Electric Football Club all-time greatest players Fekadu Muleta passed away Monday after a short illness. Dubbed Ethiopian George Best after his contemporary world football genius and Manchester United legend, Fekadu is said one of the most talented dribblers ever in Ethiopian Football.
Fekade who played his entire career with Electric Football Club donning the famous Red stripes jersey, is the most popular Footballer of the 60 year-old club with three knockout championship trophies under his belt and being member of the 10th African Cup of nations squad.
