After bringing you the first five teams of professional clubs that have fallen out of the top tier of South African football, I take a look at a few more struggling outfits.
Hellenic
The Greek Gods had the best development structures back then, producing the likes of Bradley August, Shaheem Bobbs and Emile Baron.
One cannot mention Hellenic without mentioning the Byrne family and the Das Nerves brothers, who were prominent figures in the Hellenic team. Former Bafana Bafana stars such as Mark Williams, Andrew Tucker, Grant Young, Gerald Stober and Craig Bianchi all played for Hellenic.
They have now been reborn under the guidance of Mark Byrne and they are based in Cape Town's Milnerton suburb.
Cape Town Spurs
The 'Eagles' joined forces with Seven Stars to form Ajax Cape Town. Prior to this amalgamation, Cape Town Spurs were a real force in South African football. The Cape Town-based outfit won a cup double in 1995, clinching the league title and the Bobsave Super Bowl.
Stars who played for Cape Town Spurs include Andre Arendse, David Modise, Eric Ramasike, Shaun Bartlett, David Nyathi and the late duo of Francis Shonhai and Roger Lupiya.
Mother City
Also formed as a result of the amalgamation of Cape Town Spurs and Seven Stars. However, the cream of the crop all went to the newly formed Ajax Cape Town, the peripheral figures made up Mother City.
Basil 'Dancing Shoes' Hartze coached this side, but they lacked depth and stood no real chance of survival in the PSL. They were relegated and never made their way back to the elite ranks since.
A player like Alton Meiring was considered not good enough for the newly formed Urban Warriors, so he went and made a name for himself at Mother City, where he enjoyed a long career which saw him go on to play for Mamelodi Sundowns.
George Dearnaley, Mzawuthethi Nogwaza and Mike Allen all starred for Mother City.
Seven Stars
This side is famous for producing one of South Africa's best ever strikers, Benni McCarthy. Seven Stars was also part of the merger that gave birth to Ajax Cape Town. In their very first season in the elite ranks, the side, coached by a young Gavin Hunt, finished fifth on the standings.
Sean Lodewyk, Andile Sixaba, Fani Madida and the late Clifford Moleko are some of the players who were on the books of the Cape side.
Ria Stars
The Ria Ledwaba-owned team were giant killers and often gave the Soweto giants a run for their money.
Unlike the other teams mentioned, Manyora was not relegated, but rather bought out for R8 million by the PSL in order to reduce the number of teams from 18 to 16.
Thapelo Liau, Sydney Moshikaro, Frank Makau, Lucky Lekgwathi, Teko Modise, Sam Pam and the late Thabang Lebese are some of the stars who played for the Pietersburg-based outfit.
Tembisa Classic
Yizo Yizo, as the team was fondly known, gained promotion to the PSL in the 1999/2000 season. Coached by Khabo Zondo, the boys from Tembisa played entertaining football.
Former Kaizer Chiefs winger Arthur Zwane was a vital cog in Zondo's side, while the likes of Tumelo Mofekeng, Lincoln Mackett, Mark Joubert and Thato Maleka also starred for Yizo Yizo.
Michau Warriors
An ambitious side from Port Elizabeth, which signed the 1996 African Cup of Nations hero, Mark Williams, along with David Byrne, had hopes of surviving in the elite league. However, that was not to be as Warriors were relegated. They lost all their star players, which included the likes of Calvin Marlin, Duran Francis, Patrick Mayo and Frank Schoeman.
There were other teams like Rabali Blackpool, a side that produced former Jomo Cosmos hard man, Andrew "Jaws of Life" Rabutla, and erstwhile Kaizer Chiefs striker Mike Rapatsa.
Others may recall teams such as Dangerous Darkies, Crystal Brains and D'Alberton Callies.
Which of these sides were your favourites and do you remember their players?
