Brief History
Gewargis was born in Nineveh
province (Mosul).
As a young child he and his
family then moved
to Kirkuk where he was later
employed by I.P.C.
(Iraqi Petroleum Company).
As a young adult he then
joined the football team representing I.P.C., playing side by side with
fellow players; Youarish Isaac Benyamin, Sargis Younan (Saga), Shmouel
Youshia (Chowi), Korshed Namiq,
Azzo Younan and many others.
He also played for various
sport clubs and was included in the Kirkuk National Team. He was given the
opportunity to compete both nationally and internationally against many
prestigious teams from around the globe.
Gago as he was known was an
outstanding football player. His position was ‘left wing’. Many spectators
and other sportsmen go to witness his fast speed, smart tactics and his
great control over the ball which in turn helped him to score many goals!
Being a great athlete he also
involved himself in swimming and running where he received numerous
trophies.
Gago’s cousin is the renowned
football player late Youra Eshaya. Youra was one of the most famous football
player’s in Iraq.
Gago contributed so much
towards sport, and it will continue to be remembered in many years to come.
Rest in peace our beloved football player.
We take this opportunity to
thank his family, including his wife, sons, daughter and their families.
Special thanks to his son Ninos who provided us with photos which have been
published in this magazine.
