In 1993, Zambia went into mourning when most of its promising football side were killed in an air crash.

But just a year later, a re-built team managed to reach the final of the Africa Cup of Nations, playing great football along the way.

Claire Bowes speaks to Zambian team captain, Kalusha Bwalya.
