Q: Any embarrassing moments on or off the field?
A: I remember playing for City Pillars against Tembisa Classic. Robson Muchichwa and I tried to dispossess Emmanuel "Scara" Ngobese who was with Classic at the time near the corner flag. He put the ball between Muchichwa’s legs and I came flying in, trying to help Muchichwa out but he also nutmegged me and I ended up breaking the corner flag. After making fools of us, he played a cross and they scored.
That was really embarrassing.
