It is now time to revise his views.The last player to wear the jersey was the great. The jersey was later retired after Lekoelea was thought to be conducting himself unprofessionally off the field.
“But if you ask people who saw me playing for Pirates during my time and you take the jersey and try give it to any of the current players, trust me you will not give it to anyone now. And that’s the answer from me case closed, but it’s up to Pirates to decide who they want to give it to. But for me I haven’t seen anybody who deserves to wear it yet,” Sono concluded.
The legend known as the “Black Prince” made somewhat of a contrasting view in 2022. Sono, sounding annoyed, blasted the idea of handing the Orlando Pirates jersey to“At this point in time, there is no one because the Jomo they are talking about… the one who used to wear the No.10 jersey, was unique, he was different,”“He was skillful, he was a hardworker, he could score goals from anywhere.
“So, there is no one you can compare now. If you look at Jomo, he used to play with both feet, the player they want to compare plays with one foot,” the Orlando Pirates great concluded.Meanwhile, a new player emerged at the end of the season in the 2022/23 season. The 17-year-oldearned his debut in the last match of the season against Royal AM at the Orlando Stadium.
From the start to the end of the game, he dazzled defenders with unpredictable turns, and take-ons before his deflected shot found the net on 56 minutes. It was sadly marked as an own goal.with number 38 on his back, basically stole the show with that arrogance and ball confidence Orlando Pirates fans love to see. While AM’s Jabulani Ncobeni took home the Man of the Match gong, Mofokeng was truly unlucky to miss the award.
