Lakay and his wife Danielle got married in December in the middle of the season and planned to have their honeymoon at the end of the season in June. trueG_88
The 28-year-old Lakay and his partner decided to get married at the halfway point of the season. However, due to a change in the CAF programme, Sundowns did not have a break in December as they had to play USM Alger in the group stages of the Champions League.
This meant that Lakay played for Downs in the 1-1 draw with Bidvest Wits on Tuesday December 17, got married in Cape Town three days later on the Friday and on Sunday was back with his teammates in time to fly to Algeria. "We wanted a summer wedding. Usually, the season goes on break before Christmas but things were different this season because the Champions League was still on," he said.
"So, I literally got married and two days later [was] back with my teammates preparing for the next game."Would you like to comment on this article or view other readers' comments? Register or sign in now.
