Post retirement Pierre Issa
The 47-year-old, capped 47 times in the national team, famously scored two own-goals in Bafana Bafana's crushing defeat to France in the 1998 World Cup, the same game where he also missed a clear chance to score.
Against Saudi Arabia, Issa misfortune continued after he conceded two penalties in Bafana's 2-2 draw in their final group game of the tournament - so it's safe to say that the Germiston-born ex-player isn't fondly remembered in SA football history.
Regardless of his Bafana career, Issa has built himself a steady post-playing career as Olympiacos F.C's Sporting Director.

Outside football, Issa and his beautiful family are loving their Mediterranean life in Piraeus and the ex-Bafana international uses IG to share wholesome moments of his wife and kids exploring Europe's finest travel destinations.
Issa has fully immersed himself into the Greek way of living, born in SA with Lebanese descendance, and French passport - Issa is a global citizen.
