My Dream Team: Edward Motale

Orlando Pirates legend Edward 'Magents' Motale has revealed his dream team of former teammates and those he would have loved to play with.

Now 53, the Mamelodi-born defender starred for the club between 1994-97, with his most famous moment lifting the African Champions Cup as Pirates captain in 1995.

He won five major trophies with The Buccaneers: the National Soccer League (1994), CAF Champions Cup (1995), CAF Super Cup (1996), Bob Save Super Bowl (1996) and the BP Top 8 (1996).

Here Motale selects his best all-time team consisting of former teammates and those he would have loved to play with, and names the legendary Clive Barker as his dream coach.

"What I liked about him [Barker] is that he believed in everybody's strength," Motale tells snl24.com/kickoff.

"If you were a ball-juggler he would tell you 'go there and dribble these people'. He used to tell Doctor [Khumalo] 'why don't you give these people a few shibobos' and he would say to Shoes Moshoeu 'please dance'.

"He was not coaching with a certificate, he had this thing in him. He used to play people according to their strengths. He would say to Eric Tinkler and Linda Buthelezi 'please kick them'."

Do you agree with Motale's selections?
