Norway's Lillestrom SK Fans Raise Millions for Struggling Former Kaizer Chiefs Goalkeeper Emile Baron

• It turns out that former Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Emile Baron has been struggling since the end of his career
• However, his contributions to the game in Norway have not been forgotten judging by the actions of some fans in that country
• The supporters of Lillestrom SK have banded together to assist their former goalkeeper with financial assistance after finding out about his situation

The supporters of Norwegian football club, Lillestrom SK, have united in an attempt to raise funds as they seek to assist former goalkeeper Emile Baron.

The former Kaizer Chiefs shot-stopper is reportedly living in poverty. His career was curtailed following a serious injury he suffered while playing for Bidvest Wits against Orlando Pirates in 2013.

According to IOL, Baron represented Lillestrom SK between 1999 and 2005, where he made 115 appearances before joining Chiefs. Since his broken leg, the 43-year-old has struggled to find employment, with his situation having deteriorated.

Baron’s luck is about to turn for the better as an amount of about R2-million is expected from Lillestrom SK supporters, who adored him during his time at the club. TimesLive reported on the initiative in which Lillestrom SK's communications head, Morten Stokstad said that 1 099 300 Norwegian Kroner had been raised with nearly 5000 people having contributed.

A relieved and grateful Baron said in response:

“I am aware they are raising money for me and I want to thank them for what they are doing. But I am now talking to the organisers to see how I will get the money."
