Bafana Bafana legend Doctor Khumalo has revealed his top five greatest South African footballers of all time.
Khumalo was recently inducted into the SA Hall of Fame alongside other national icons, recognised for his achievements with the team, including winning the 1996 AFCON and helping the nation qualify for two FIFA World Cups.
When asked whether he considers himself the country’s greatest-ever player, Khumalo said he “unfortunately” doesn’t remember much of what he used to do on the field. He added that he’s never been one to boast about he’s done.
“The unfortunate part is that I don’t recall what I’ve done on the field,” Khumalo told Robert Marawa on MSW.
“I’m not that kind of the person that I don’t blow my own horn. But I made it a point that if in that side of the fans, he’s dead, meaning if I’m coming you should faint because I’ll dribble past you.”
Listing his five GOATs in SA football, he stated, “I’ll go for the late Ace Ntsoelengoe, Jomo Sono, Lucas Radebe, Phil Masinga and Shoes Moshoeu.”
Asked why he didn’t include himself, he said he would leave that judgment to the fans.
“I guess somebody would have to tell me [where the Doctor Khumalo name would fit in].”
