My transfer…

We were playing in the Cosafa Cup against Bafana Bafana and Bra Stan Tshabalala was around to check on Robert Nauseb. I must have impressed him because he asked me to come down to SA for trials. I was signed after two or three training sessions.

My debut….

I am not up to date about my debut but when I arrived there were players like Brain Baloyi,Niel Tovey, my compatriot Robert Nauseb, Doctor Khumalo, Robson Muchichwa, Jacob Tshisevhe, Thabo Mooki, Thabang Lebese, Marc Batchelor,Disco Makua and youngsters like Jabu Pule,Lucky Maselesele,Ace Mbuthu and many others. I had great 1st season my best in my soccer career.

My best goal…

I do not really have any specific one. I scored around five goals and all of them were from outside the 18 yards (long range) hahaha

My highlight…

Mhmmm everything I achieved in my first season, winning Rothmans Cup was a collective effort and my personal achievements, the Club’s Player of the Year, Kickoff Player of the Year and picking up few Player of the Month awards along the way!!

Team I wanted to beat most...

Hahahaha I am a born winner and wanted to achieve best results against all the teams we faced. I must admit as time passed, my battles with Jerry Skhosana from Orlando Pirates made me look forward to the Soweto derby!

Best striker I played against...

Daniel ‘Mambush’ Mudau! He was not the biggest of them but he had an advantage in that small frame, he was very mobile, dangerous in the box and a good finisher. His trickery and his off the ball runs was sometimes too much!

My best buddy…

Robert was my best friend I hang around with him for obvious reasons hahaha. A very nice guy to be around with, same language etc...When Ertugral joined us, we had different roommate for every game

My nickname…

‘Slice’! I got the nickname from a brother called Clive Gawanab, a family friend. I first heard about it in the late 80's..I was one of the best in sliding tackles, that’s how he came up with the name.

My favourite coach...

I still regard both Paul Dolezar and Ertugral highly. Paul Dolezar was fun to be around with, always making jokes and he was tactically good and very funny character hahaha. I think the Khosi family is my witness ha ha ha...Ertugral was different, from his first meeting with players, we knew here is a guy who takes his job serious and a disciplinarian, but he brought new ideas to the team!!

My favourite pitch….

I would say Ellis Park...we could feel the supporters just here on the touchline, just the atmosphere they created, because of stands close to the pitch...oh I hated Athlone!!
