SC VILLA FIRST (1986)
After failing to win major silverware in the 1985 season, the Jogoos signed former Uganda Cranes skipper Polly Ouma who had just returned from exile in Kenya. Ouma was paired with former Cranes star Timothy Ayiekoh. The dual went on to set a record when SC Villa captured the league with only one defeat.
The Jogoos later defeated Jinja-based Tobacco FC 2-0 in the Uganda Cup final at Nakivubo stadium thanks to goals from Sula Kato and Twaha Kivumbi to win Uganda Cup.
SC VILLA AGAIN (1988)
At the beginning of the 1988 season, SC Villa parted company with Ouma and signed Geoff Hudson. In his maiden season in Uganda, the British tactician won the league with ease.
The Jogoos later showed their might by winning the tension-packed Uganda Cup final 3-1 against rivals Express FC at Nakivubo stadium. SC Villa scored through Majid Musisi, Steven Bogere and an own goal by Express skipper Paul Nkata while James Kirinya got Express’ consolation goal.
This cup game is remembered for the military policemen who sorrounded the pitch and later shot in the air to disperse Express fans who were protesting their presence
SC VILLA ON SONG AGAIN (1989)
The dominant Villa team yet again retained the league with ease. Few days later, they walloped Express FC 4-2 in the Uganda Cup final.
SC Villa goals were scored by Kivumbi, Sunday Mokiri, Ronald Vubya and Bogere while Richard Kirumira and Phillip Musoke scored for Express. Minister Jaberi Bidandi Ssali was the chief guest and handed both trophies to Villa skipper Paul Hasule.
EXPRESS’ CHANCE (1995)
In 1995, Express elevated Jimmy Muguwa as head coach after the departure of David Otti. Muguwa swung into action and led the all-conquering Express to the 1995 league title, with the nearest rival 13 points behind.
The Red Eagles then turned to the now-renamed Kakungulu Cup against Posta FC. It was a tight contest which ended 0-0 in normal time. In extra time, Zazak Lingaya and Fred Tamale put Express ahead with quick-fire goals which helped the Wankulukuku side to register its maiden double.
SC VILLA RETURNS (1998)
The arrival of former SC Villa skipper Paul Hasule as head coach helped the Jogoos to recapture lost glory. Hasule first guided Villa to the 1998 Kakungulu Cup title at Namboole stadium after defeating his former club Simba FC 2-0, thanks to a Hassan Mubiru brace.
Almost a month later, SC Villa have announced the league winner via a boardroom decision. Fufa’s decision to award Villa the title was reached at after Express fans and officials cause the abandonment of the final league game against Villa at Namboole.
With five minutes to the final whistle both team were level at 1-1 when Express players disputed a penalty awarded to Villa by referee Umar Bautu.
MIGHTY SC VILLA (2000)
In the 2000 season, SC Villa was unplayable as Hasule built a strong side which made life difficult for rivals to match. This Villa side beat closest rivals KCC FC to the crown by five points.
In the Kakungulu Cup final, they met David Otti’s Military Police FC. The soldiers first proved a hard-nut to crack but they later gave in and conceded a Hussein Mbalangu solitary goal.
SC VILLA DOMINANT (2002)
This double introduced Milutin ‘Micho’ Sredojevic to Ugandan football. SC Villa were runaway league winners after leaving Express, the nearest rival, 15 points behind. The Blues then turned their eyes on the Kakungulu Cup at Namboole stadium. The Jogoos did not shame their fans when they edged Express 2-1 to win a sixth double.
KCCA FC AT LAST (2016/17)
KCCA FC had collected 11 league titles and eight Uganda Cup trophies but had never won the double. In 2015, the club recruited Mike Mutebi, who later became one of the club’s most successful coaches.
The Lugogo-based side kept Vipers at arm’s length to win the league title before heading to Arua to play Paidha Black Angels in the Uganda Cup final.
It was Derrick Nsibambi and Geoffrey Serunkuma who found the back of the net to help KCCA to its first double.
