The historic quest continues. The first ever South African Football Hall of Fame, created by you and published by Soccer Laduma, is in the works. This week we discussed and voted on the goalkeepers. Remember, voting does not close. You can go back and vote anytime. Next week, we will look at the force that keeps the enemy out: our defenders.
It is time to honour the defenders
The strong men at the back, the protectors of the flag
It can only be from a genie's wish that we had a man called
Mark Fish
Whether you are Zulu, Afrikaans or Venda,
You have heard of Aaron Mokoena
Like a fish to a reel or a fly on your heel,
That's the Tovey to our Neil
We were lucky to have David Nyathi
And when you saw Fabian McCarthy,
He always had a look that said "no one will pass me".
And like a mouse trapped in a lion's tooth,
Very rarely could an attacker escape Matthew Booth
Some of our legends have passed our fields on
So for the likes of Sizwe Motaung
Let us remember them
And sing their song.
The Hall of Fame Defenders discussion opens next week. Who were the greatest of all time?
