In the latest edition of My Dream Team, former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns centre-back Neil Winstanley chooses the 11 best players he played alongside in his football career.
What Formation?
"4-4-2.
"Because you can play both defensive and attacking options on that formation. You can use it like a keeper sweeper."It's easier for the team to go forward and it's easier for the team to defend."
Goalkeeper…
"Wayne Roberts. The most talented keeper I've ever seen. Good on the air, and good on the ground, his distribution was good. An all-round keeper.
"Obviously I played with a lot of keepers, but talent-wise he was so unbelievable, he was just unfortunate about things off the field that affected him."
Defenders…
"Right-Back is Vuyo Mere. He was an all-around modern-day right-back. He was good at defence, and he was good at attacking. He operated like a wing-back and he was also versatile. Similar player to Josta Dladla when going forward.
"Left-Back, Siaka Tiene, an all-around player as well. Other than Roger Feutmba, probably the most talented left-footed player I've ever seen.
"My two centre-backs will be OJ Mabizela, in my opinion, the most talented player we ever had in the country. Good in the air, he went to Tottenham Hotspurs.
"His partner is Mark Fish, he was a modern-day centre-back before even modern-day centre-backs existed. He would run through a brick wall."
Midfield…
"Benson Mhlongo will be our central midfielder, he covered everything on the pitch, defensively he was there, attacking wise he was there, he covered so many kilometres and did the dirty work nobody else wanted to do. He was extremely talented as well, and that makes 90% of a player.
"I will partner him with Esrom Nyandoro. I remember seeing him for the first time not knowing who Esrom was. He is in the top 5 of the best players I've ever played with. A workhorse who never complained and always followed the coach's instructions. A world-class player.
"On the right, I will put Surprise Moriri, one of the most talented players I played with. He has the most unbelievable first touch. Extremely intelligent. Speed wise he was lacking a little bit, he would have made it in Europe as well. Also, by far one of the most talented players I've ever played with.
"Charles Yohane will be on the left. He and I we had such an unbelievable partnership as well, I played on the right side of the central defence, So my first option was to try to give him a long ball. On and off the field Charles was always the same true gentleman."
Strikers…
"I will have Clement Mazibuko and Raphael Chukwu.
"Clement he was very good but sometimes poor. He was naturally gifted, a natural crosser of the ball which is something very rare to find in South Africa. An all-round team player who could fit at any team.
"Chukwu was probably one of the hardest strikers I had the privilege of playing with. The Chukwu train."
Substitutes…
"My reserve goalkeeper will probably be Calvin Marlin. A good leader.
"My defender will be Michael Manzini with all the qualities of being a good defender. He made defending look easy.
"Midfield I will put Thabo Mooki. I played with him at Kaizer Chiefs. He was also way ahead of his time as well, one of the crowd's favourites as well.
"The striker will be Shaun Bartlett. I played with him and against him.Obviously when I played with him in the national team …you can't exactly see what a great striker he was, I only found that out when I played against him. He could literally float in the air."
Coach…
"Stuart Baxter. I just loved everything that he did. He was a player's coach. He is experienced on and off the field. He was a father figure to lot of the players."
