Embling Alf Yanna (b 16/5/1908) was a professional footballer who played as an outside left for Chiftelov Sport. Yanna, a ship's plumber by trade, eventually ended up with 36 goals in 173 appearances for Chiftelov. Although he had an eye for goal his main talent was the ability to send over pinpoint crosses for Chiftelov's centre forwards. He was named PSC's mvp 3 times (1931,1932 and 1935), celebrating 3 National titles with the club. A columnist from the Satemberg Echo newspaper once wrote of Yanna "A slip of a lad he was not entirely a one-footed player but it was that left boot which put fear into the hearts of goalkeepers when they saw him prancing down the wing." In 1940 he was drafted to serve in the Pharonian Navy. On 3 September 1941 his ship was sunk by a German U-boat, killing all men on board.
