Orlando Pirates’ Thembinkosi Lorch once had a smash hit song written about him, who knows what’s next now? Perhaps a men’s fashion line? It’s a great idea honestly.

ORLANDO PIRATES’ THEMBINKOSI LORCH SHOWS EXPENSIVE SNEAKER ON TWITTER

Days after delivering another solid performance in Bucs’ attack last weekend, the Bafana Bafana international focused on a few training sessions before taking some time out to post on social media.

This time the 28-year-old posted a relaxed outfit wearing a black t-shirt and cut jeans and what looks like a Gucci belt. But the best highlight of the image was what covers the feet of the Orlando Pirates superstar.

Lorch is seen drawing attention to the white sneakers from the Italian luxury fashion brand No.21. The previous versions of the sneaker are worth R10 000. Lorch’s white and green limited edition Billy pair is yet to be available online and therefore could cost a bit more than 10 grand.

BUCS CO-COACH NCIKAZI ON WHY THEMBINKOSI LORCH IS TOP CLASS

Switching to matters on the pitch, Orlando Pirates’ co-coach Mandla Ncikazi has praised Thembinkosi Lorch’s class.

The 28-year-old returned to action in December after nearly missing the entire season due to injury and some tensions with management.

Most players often need weeks to recapture their spark after a long-time out, but Orlando Pirates’ Lorch made things happen within minutes of coming on against AmaZulu last December.

Some call it the x-factor, a moment of brilliant or game-decider if you’re Mandla Ncikazi.

“Lorch is a top player and when I arrived here, Lorch was injured [so] I am only seeing him now after the injury. You can see that he is developing and getting better with each game, that is why we are giving him more minutes in each match,” Ncikazi told journalists. Read the full story here.
