Gilson Silva lives difficult days in his native country Le Cape Verde, the old star is without home and without any assistance.
Life is ruthless. Who does not remember Gilson Silva, recruited by the Star in 2004 for the modest sum of 5000 dinars. At the time, he was an unknown kid. It was the current president, Othmane Jenayeh, who opened the doors of posterity to him.
From a player without any business card, Gilson became, very quickly, the darling of the star public and one of the craftsmen of the titles won by the SSE during the three years he spent at the club.
At its record: a CAF cup in 2006, the 2006-2007 Tunisian championship, the Champions League in 2007, and a 4th place in the Club World Cup in Japan.
Starting in Guingamp in 2009, Cape Verdean returned to Tunisia in 2012 to rods with a few clubs (USMO and OK) without too much success.
His friends posted yesterday a video in which he appealed to his former club and his former teammates to extricate him from this painful situation.
