<p>Zakaria's story is an emotional one. The Egyptian was a former player that came through Al-Ahly's academy. He was a talented player who was destined for the top.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Zakaria's first professional club was with Entag El-Harby before joining Al-Masry in 2011. He also had a spell with ENPPI, where he excelled.&nbsp;</p>

<p>His performances at ENPPI sparked a bidding war between Zamalek and Al-Ahly, with the former winning by signing Zakaria on a one and a half-year loan deal.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He returned to Al-Ahly after his time at Zamalek before moving to Saudi Arabia. However, just as his career was progressing, tragedy struck Zakaria.&nbsp;</p>

<p>In 2019, the Egyptian was diagnosed with Lou Gehrig's disease, known as Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Since then, he has been in a wheelchair.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Zakaria was known for his famous celebration during his playing days. The ex-Zamalek man celebrates by cupping his ears. Salah sometimes celebrate the same way to honour Zakaria.</p>

<h3>What is Lou Gehrig's disease?&nbsp;</h3>

<p>According to ALS Association, Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord.</p>
