Kaizer Motaung and Banks Setlhodi on Sugar Ray Xulu: 'We have lost a true giant' BraMahlatse
In their playing days Motaung and Setlhodi had had numerous tough encounters against SA footballing great Xulu‚ who died on Monday at the age of 80‚ and both said they they respected him for his footballing ability.
“Sugar Ray was left-footed‚ just like me‚ he was fast and knew how to score. He was a brilliant player‚ a true legend of the game of football‚” added Motaung.“Sugar Ray was quiet off the field‚ but on the field of play he spoke with his feet. He was quick‚ physically strong and could attack as well as defend. He was one of the best we had in the country. What a player‚” said Setlhodi.
"I liked to anticipate situations and I was moving forward to intercept a cross. However‚ he already seemed to know what I was going to do before I had decided myself and he drove the ball from outside the box straight into the corner.Chiefs' goalkeeping legend added that as far as he can remember Xulu never got a yellow card during his career.
