With defender Thulani Hlatshwayo flying high with table-toppers SuperSport United, the experienced centre-back has reminisced of the good old days when he was at the peak of his powers. Here's a look.
The story
After a slightly disastrous time at Orlando Pirates towards the tail-end of his spell at the club, Tyson has bounced back from his woes and has recently reminisced of the time when he was featured on the magazine cover of GQ South Africa three years ago.
On the edition, which was for July/Aug 2019, the centre-back appears elegantly stylish alongside Proteas batsman Rassie van der Dussen as well as Springboks captain Siya Kolisi.
Tyson was flying high with Bidvest Wits at the time and the following year he would get his big move to Pirates. He now seems to be back to his best with Matsatsantsa, having played every single league game so far as the Pretoria outfit sits on top of the DStv Premiership table.

The reposting of that GQ magazine cover might signal someone who is now once again found his confidence and consistency in form. It is also a privilege of some sort for the 32-year-old, as no other local footballer in recent memory has appeared on the cover of the reputable fashion outlet.
Meanwhile overseas!
This month a range of big-name players participated photoshoot for the publication, including Virgil van Dijk, Kai Havertz, Alphonso Davies, Tariq Lamptey, Christian Pulisic, Ansu Fati, Benjamin Parvard, Takumi Minamino, and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
All these players are expected to compete at the upcoming FIFA World Cup in Qatar as they are all established players in their national teams. In the shoot, where players also discussed the tournament, the aforementioned stars can been seen looking quite stunning dressed in vintage inspired clothing.
Unsurprisingly, the ballers are also rocking some high-end labels such as Polo Ralph Lauren, Gucci, Vivienne Westwood, Louis Vuitton, and Christian Louboutin among other lush brands.
