As mentioned by SA History.org, Moripe was hailed by fans as "The God of football" during his time at Pretoria Callies, who he joined back in 1971 and led the team to memorable victories over Orlando Pirates and Kaizer Chiefs.
He won Player of the Year in 1973 before persistent knee injury ended his career in the 80's.
