Sono played for the likes of Orlando Pirates and at one stage even had the late Pele as a teammate at New York Cosmos.
The skilful Ngubane was always a marvel to watch in the colours of Bush Bucks.
Sono says he respects Ngubane's opinion.
"Ya it's fine (laughs), it's okay," Sono tells KickOff.com.

"He was a very good player, but I can't compare him to anybody.
