[1] Bamfuchile started out by playing for youth teams Chamboli and Luanshiba in Kitwe before joining Nkana Red Devils then known as Rhokana United in 1977.
For some unclear reason, Bamfuchile was known as Ben Pabili when he was a defender at Nkana alongside players like Jericho Shinde, Fighton Simukonda, Kapambwe Mulenga and Michael Chabala.
Bamfuchile also made a handful of appearances for the national team and was part of the victorious squad that won the 1984 Confederation of East & Central Africa Football Association (CECAFA) Cup in Uganda though he was not a regular as he fell behind other defenders such as Jones Chilengi, John 'Butcher' Mwanza and Fighton Simukonda.
In the run-up to the CAN 2000, Bamfuchile worked in difficult circumstances as the Zambian Football Association (FAZ) was at loggerheads with the government over misappropriation of funds for the previous CAN tournament.
As a result, Zambia's preparations for the CAN 2000 were shambolic, including a 7–1 humiliation to lowly Honduras after which it was revealed that the team had had to survive on junk food before the game.
George Mungwa took charge of the team for a while until Dutchman Jan Brouwer was appointed although Bamfuchile remarked that the course he was embarking on the European B coaching licence was something he already had and it was like his employers only wanted him to go and pass time in Europe.
By the end of the 2008 African Nations Cup qualification campaign, Namibia had won their group and Bamfuchile became a hero after he led the Namibians to a 3–2 victory over Ethiopia.
[1] However, he threatened to resign from his position and return to his native Zambia in early December 2007 after claiming the Namibian FA had not treated him with respect by not honouring the terms and conditions of his contract, such as providing him with a vehicle and paying him his salary on time.
Bamfuchile died at a clinic in Kitwe on 27 December 2007, just 3 weeks before the start of the 2008 African Cup of Nations, leaving behind a wife Tina and 6 children.
