Finding another player like ex-Orlando Pirates star Leremi will take 20 years - Moloi

The ex-Buccaneer dribbling wizard died a few months after joining Mamelodi Sundowns where he was already a key player

Former Orlando Pirates assistant coach Teboho Moloi has described the late Gift Leremi as a rare breed of a footballer whose kind will take South Africa another 20 years to discover.

A life cut short by a tragic car accident at the age of 22, Leremi was touted as the next big thing to happen for South African football.

Moloi who was the midfielder’s development coach at Pirates narrates a tale of his former player as someone who would, interestingly dream of an attacking move in his sleep and wanted to recreate it in on the football pitch.
