Losing to Kaizer Chiefs in the Rothmans Cup final still hurts – Mamelodi Sundowns legend Tlale

Former Mamelodi Sundowns goalkeeper John Tlale says he is still hurting from the Rothmans Cup final loss to Kaizer Chiefs in 1998, when Joel Masilela’s goal was disallowed at FNB Stadium.

Based on his ability to save penalties, the former Bloemfontein Celtic, Qwa-Qwa Stars, and Orlando Pirates keeper explains he is not bothered by some people who do not regard him as a national icon after winning the Caf Africa Cup of Nations trophy in 1996.

On the other hand, the Brazilians legend says he joined the Chloorkop-based club because of Daniel Mudau’s influence when Kaizer Chiefs were also chasing for his signature.
