Yesterday's sterling performance in goals has us all talking about Darren Keet. He had big gloves to fill when he took over from Senzo Meyiwa, but last night he showed that he was up for the challenge.
1. Darren Keet is a dog lover and he goes everywhere with his two dogs who are named Mango and Gus.
2. Keet and his wife recently announced that they are expecting a baby boy, so Bafana's goalkeeper will soon become a father!
3. He is a travel lover, and is known to visit different cities around Europe when he has weekends off from his Belgian club KV Kortrijk.
4. He was given the nickname Popeye because he was so animated that his friends thought he resembled a cartoon character.
5. He comes from a football family. His father was a top amateur goalkeeper and his brother was given a soccer scholarship to the United States.
