Some 50 people attended the meal, during which Manuel Coelho ("I must promote my team") handed a Ramblers T-shirt, a cap and a pennant to the prominent guest.A Benfica-Fan Club is to be established in Windhoek and Ramblers is negotiating an affiliation with Lisbon so that trainers can be trained in Portugal. Vilarinho, who proudly proclaimed the Eagle (logo of Benfica) was "Royal Game", came on a 28 day holiday to Namibia where he shot his fifth lion near Etosha. By the way: The logo of competitor Sporting Lisbon is a lion, "so they are our opponents", the Chairperson of Benfica quipped.
