KAIZER CHIEFS STAR ITUMELENG KHUNE NAMES HIS FAVOURITE PLAYER

The Ventersdorp-born player, now aged 34 years of age, was asked the question by Kaizer Chiefs media as the club created players’ profile for this season.

While many of his teammates named an average of two players, local and international, as their favourite players to watch, Khune named one: himself.

“All-Time Favourite Player: Myself,” said the information from Khune on Kaizer Chiefs’ webpage.

Additionally, the former Bafana Bafana number one also revealed that his father is his inspirational figure.

ITU RESPONDS TO RETIREMENT TALKS

In a related update, the Kaizer Chiefs development product recently offered a big response after a social media user suggested his retirement.

The Twitter user with the handle @oyama_yaya simply imagined how emotional it would be to witness Kaizer Chiefs’ Khune retire one day.

“Khune deserves a farewell match. I’ll shed tears when he retires,” he said.

The legendary goalkeeper, who is sometimes known as “Mzansi’s number one,” responded with a short but firm statement. The veteran suggested that the idea is still a distant possibility.

“I’m not going to retire anytime soon Fam,” Khune said before adding a wink and praying hands emojis.

There were sure to be a few passionate comments on the post. One of the few that caught the eye will surely inspire Khune. The user @TheRealJobe7 said: “Plz keep playing you still have a lot to contribute, look to the likes of Buffon, Ahmed from Egypt, and Iker Casillas. You are of the same caliber.”

Meanwhile, Amakhosi will return to action this weekend against TS Galaxy in the Nedbank Cup last 32 in Johannesburg.
