From Doctor Khumalo , Isaac Shakes Kungwane , Jabu Pule , Emmanuel Scara Ngobese and Teko Modise , the PSL has been blessed with amazing football magicians who wowed crowds during their prime. Graphic: Sihle Mlambo/IOLIn the vibrant realm of South African football, few players manage to etch their names into the annals of history, transcending the sport to become legends.
With his trademark number 15 on his back, Khumalo use to bring a sense of calm to everyone watching when he had the ball at his feet. Chiefs fans love themselves some skillful Kasi flavour, and the teenage Mahlangu had all of it. He was simply breathtaking to watch as he left opponents on their bums and fans on their feet. At full flight, he could change games on his own, such was his talent.
Ngobese played his best football under Ted Dumitru at Chiefs as the South American coach gave him freedom and encouraged him to express himself on the pitch. The midfielder accepted the challenge and played a starring role as Amakhosi pipped rivals Orlando Pirates to the league title. Despite being at the top of his game for just a short time, his ability to entertain with the ball at his feet is still remembered fondly to this day by football fans across South Africa.Shakes Kungwane was a joy to watch. He looked like he belonged on the rugby field, but his ability with the ball at his feet left many defenders mesmerised.
He spent most of his career at Mamelodi Sundowns, but it was at Orlando Pirates that he played his best football. Modise was simply an unstoppable genius and could have played anywhere in the world.
