Sibusiso Zuma is an institution in South African football. He started from humble beginnings in Durban and first played professionally for African Wanderers. He also featured for Orlando Pirates before making a move overseas, and became a household name in Denmark.
Here are his five greatest moments:
1) In 2001, Zuma was tied in 29th place, along with Roy Keane and Steven Gerrard, for the FIFA World Player of the Year award.
2) In 2005, he was bought by Bundesliga side Arminia Bielefeld for €1 million – quite an impressive fee for a South African at that time.
3) In 2006, the former striker was voted as the greatest personality to ever play for FC Copenhagen.
4) "Rhee" represented South Africa 67 times, scoring 13 goals. He was part of the 2002 FIFA World Cup squad and found himself in the right place at the wrong time when he captained Bafana Bafana through a disastrous 2006 Afcon campaign.
5) FC Copenhagen won their second ever Superliga Championship in 2001 after a decade-long drought. The title was won in the final minutes of the final game thanks to an absolute cracker of a bicycle kick from Zuma.
a. In 2013, this goal was voted the greatest moment in FC Copenhagen's history.
b. This strike was also voted the Superliga Goal of the Decade.
c. A statue/monument of this moment was erected outside the stadium.
The goal is an absolute must-see, watch it below:
Do you think Rhee is the greatest player South Africa has ever produced? If not, who is better?
