When a group of 1970s Kaizer Chiefs legends and the club heard a comrade, the famously grizzly ex-central defensive stalwart Simon 'Bull' Lehoko, was in need. they did not hesitate to come together and to his aid.
"A lot of them, and I'm also talking about AmaZulu, Pubs, Orlando Pirates, Swallows. They never got themselves prepared for life post-football.
Stylianou said Motaung is always available to help when he hears a club legend is in trouble, a more difficult task as each decade the number of former players grows. "When a legend passes on, Chiefs basically cover all the costs of the funeral. Kaizer has never forgotten the legends who built the Chiefs brand. People forget Kaizer himself is a legend, and these are his former teammates, and he looks after them."
