Arap Uria's meeting with Peter Drury lights up social media after passionate plea in Qatar
Kenyan content creator Arap Uria has finally met legendary football commentator, Peter Drury in Qatar after a viral plea on social media that sent tongues wagging.
The content creator shot to fame for lip synching Drury is in Qatar for the FIFA 2022 World Cup, with the renowned commentator also in the Asian nation for the global competition.
In a bid to catch the attention of the commentator, Arap Uria took a photo in the streets of Qatar holding a placard with a message that he hoped would reach Drury.
Donning his signature look that catapulted him to fame, the content creator held a placard with that read:
"Hello, Peter Drury, it's Arap Uria. I am in Qatar and I would like to meet you."
The content creator shared the photo on Twitter, tagging Drury’s co-commentator Jim Beglin.
Jim responded, wishing Arap Uria well and letting the content creator know that the message was home with the poetic commentator.
"I have passed on your tweet to Peter. I hope it all works out for you. Good luck,"
Jim replied.
"Peter will contact you tomorrow, Arap,"
