"Next season, with the number of games we play, he could get to 500. But congratulations to him, very well deserved.""It was emotional for me, and I wanted to cry,” said Jele afterwards."But if I cried, I wouldn’t play very well, so I started to be focused because we had to play the game."It is a special day for me. It has not been an easy journey to play 400 games for one team. It was tough, but through thick and thin, I managed to cope.
"He showed a never-say-die attitude when he came into the team," said Davids."He fitted in well with the group in terms of the cohesion with the players. “I’m really happy with his contribution. It is never easy coming in as a new player. After two early errors, he came bouncing back with such a fine performance."
