But instead of squeezing the little rubber bulb at the end, he'd take that off and blow into the horn.

I was doing that one to entertain the players, motivate them, encourage them to score at the stadium with this one.

1965, when I arrived in John Speck.

This included a large aluminium horn he called a boogie blast.

The boogie blast was basically a long metal stick you could blow into.

It was also a long metal stick you could beat someone up with, so stadiums eventually banned it.

But by then, in 1989, Saddam says he met with a plastics manufacturer and asked him to make a plastic version of the boogie blast.

This new instrument they created sounded similar.

Vuvuzela is derived from Zulu.

Vuvuzela mean welcome and unite.

Same thing, Vuvuzela, welcome and unite.

Saddam says he coined the name Vuvuzela back in 1992, a claim he supports with photos of him blowing his many horns at football games in the 70s and 80s and a Vuvuzela in the 90s.

He also recorded an album in 1999 titled Vuvuzela Cellular.

Saddam tried selling some of these plastic horns at football matches, but it just never really gained traction.

Even at Kaiser Chiefs games, he would often be one of the only supporters in the crowd blowing a vuvuzela.

This is Dwayne Jethro.

He studies South African culture and wrote about the history of the Vuvuzela.

Dwayne says that back in 2001, Niel van Skalkvik and his partner, Beville Bachman, got funding to get their business off the ground.

Did you ever speak with Neil?

Yes, I spoke to him.
