Pirates Legend Sends Eric Tinkler's Team A Reminder

Pirates Legend Sends Eric Tinkler's Team A Reminder

Former Orlando Pirates goalkeeper, Patson Banda, is concerned that the number of players willing to show off their skills and God-given talent freely at professional level has lessened over the years.

However, Banda is happy for players like Thabo Rakhale that have been able to entertain football fans with their tricks with the ball in some of the matches in the PSL.

While a player like Tshepo 'Skhwama Sama Tariyana' Matete, has been attracting huge crowds for Baroka FC in the NFD with his silky skills with the ball, there has been an outcry for more of the same and entertaining football in the PSL.

Speaking to the Siya crew ahead of this weekend's Nedbank Cup Soweto Derby for Bucs and Kaizer Chiefs, the Pirates legend has reminded Eric Tinkler's team about remembering the millions of people they represent.

"Going into the weekend's game, what counts the most is self-belief and confidence. Pirates' players must remember that they are representing millions of people who are fighting the same battle they will be fighting against their opponents, on a daily basis. It is a pity we have fewer 'Show-Makers' these days to entertain the supporters. People used to go to the stadium just to watch Jomo Sono or Ace and no one else. I'm happy players like Thabo Rakhale are giving the supporters a reason to attend the game," said Banda.
