According to Forest Green boss Robbie Savage, Buyabu rang him at 06:50 GMT on Thursday morning to say he had delivered his own child before paramedics could get there. "He woke me up this morning at 10 to seven and said 'gaffer, I've just delivered the baby. Mother, baby and defender are all doing well according to the Forest Green boss who said Buyabu will get the rest of the day off before reporting back to training.
