Thabiso, we’re now in the ‘last third’, so let’s finish things off in style. Although you were a defender and far from being a good finisher during your playing days, ha, ha, ha. What more can you tell us? Let’s start with Jomo Cosmos…
My roommate at Cosmos was Lucky Mhlathe, and at other times Bamuza Sono. Those two knew that I never pulled out of tackles and so they didn’t have to worry about anything if they were playing in front of me. Mhlathe used to call me “Ford Cotina”. They also used to call me (Audi) “TT”, which is the fastest car. When I go forward, I go forward. I remember one time I was marking Daine Klate, who was at SuperSport United, and he ended up asking one of my teammates, Dikgang Mabalane, to switch positions with me. He shouted, “Dikgang, come this side!” Mabalane was like, “No, I’m not coming! Never!” Ha, ha, ha. I would match him for pace, dispossess him of the ball and then go on the attack and put in a cross, all while he was standing there.
Impressive!
