In the latest edition of My Locker Room Secrets, KickOff catches up with former Moroka Swallows star Sydney Hadebe.
Hadebe reveals what used to take place behind the scenes in the Dube Birds's dressing room.
Whose locker room are we in today?
"Sydney Hadebe, a former Vaal Professionals, Moroka Swallows and Wits University player. But let's talk about the Swallows dressing room.
"Though we were a close neat team, like in any team there were also some egos as expected.
"Competition amongst players will always be there."
Who was always late?
"I think because we used the team bus to come to training there were not that many cases of players who showed up late.
"Most times I'd be the one affected by time because I was studying all the time.
So I was the culprit in that department (laughs)."
Any interesting rituals before they played?
"What was good is that they did those things outside the changeroom and not amongst us.
"But I never believed in those things. I always prayed to the lord to lead me and guide me."
Who was the jokester?
"There was a lot. Patrick Ningiza was the quiet one. It was the late Scara Ngobese who liked making jokes."
Was it a muti-changeroom?
"It was a mixture. Remember some of us believed in prayer. But as for muti people were not so open you know, as a team we believed in prayer."
Who was the singer?
"The likes of Ningiza had their own songs that they preferred, he was one of those who used to start songs."
Who was the best dresser and the worst dresser?
"Peter Matshitse took the crown. That one loved suites. He dressed like a teacher. George Lekgetho would follow him closely, he also liked clothes.
"The worst dressed was Gary McNab, he dressed like a true white guy. It was the same with Kevin Rafferty."
Who never showered?
"No one. We all showered. You wouldn't dare go home without having taken a shower. It was too embarrassing."

"I will give that one to Vader Mphosho, he was good. He was closer to the players. He would advise and coach you based on his experience. He was unique in that way."
