‘Shoes’ back in action again‘Shoes’ back in action againPosted: 2009-11-17 11:18 Former Bafana Bafana and Kaizer Chiefs’ legend John ‘Shoes’ Moshoeu is back in action, playing for Larry Brookstone’s Highlands Park in the Gauteng stream of the Vodacom Second Division. Although the man turns 44 next month and has 73 Bafana caps to his name as well as having played over 550 top-flight games, including lengthy spells in Turkey with renowned outfits like Fenerbahce and Bursaspor, he still has the skills to change a game.The 1996 African Cup of Nations winner, who last played competitive football for AmaZulu in 2007/08 before becoming a free agent, joined the ambitious Park at the beginning of the season. “It’s unbelievable,” says club official Brad Kaftel. “Shoes could be at home walking the dogs but he isn’t married and says he enjoys playing soccer. “He’s a legend; you should see his free kicks - before you know it the ball is straight over the wall into the back of the net. He played our first match but was then injured and out for about a month but has certainly played the last six games - we usually give him about 60 minutes. “When he came off the pitch against Orlando Pirates’ development side, Yebo Yes, which ended in a 1-1 draw all the opposition fans – about 200 of them, stood up and applauded. “Half of our side are under-23 so you can imagine how they look up to him!” Peter Raath

New Kid: 2009-11-17 11:46 I don't know what to say.

Ernest Sixolile: 2009-11-17 11:56 Bra Shoes needs to get married and retire from soocer. jjokocha: 2009-11-17 12:01 At 44 he does not have a wife? That's amazing. He is too old. He must retire. What is this thing of dogs & shoes & no wife. Moshoeu, what are doing with the dogs. say it loud and clear. Siyaz: 2009-11-17 12:23 Shoes is a joke. Instead of getting himself a wife he persists on playing soccer. Next year he will be playing at 5th Division. I always asked myself why he doesn't want to quit. Now I know the guy has no life. I am sure he has even given up on ever getting married. junior: 2009-11-17 12:37 Rothmans cup Thabang: 2009-11-17 12:38 Nothing wrong with playing while you still can. Hat off to Shoes... Dikotsi: 2009-11-17 12:47 Shoes wants to kill himself inside teh field. This guy must learn when it is time to let go and look at new ventures...like getting married and enjoying teh fruits of his toils with his family, wife and kids. Otherwise all his gains will worth nothing if he is not enjoying them with his leniage...

Lot of players should be learning a thing or two from Shoes. He's a legend. As to getting a wife, that is his own decision and no 1 can tell him what to do Bongs: 2009-11-17 13:09 Hhayi bo lomkhulu!! hahahahahaha Grand pa Shoes please get a wife and retire from soccer now!!

ManiQ: 2009-11-17 13:20 what does marriage has to do with loving soccer? some journalists are just reporting on issues that are not relevant to the story line in any case Shoes is a legend married or not, anyway marriage is not the only thing there is about life infact Shoes has proven it. Michael: 2009-11-17 13:26 I agree with some of you guys , I believe you're financially secured , and u r driving expensive cars.....so maybe you should join the legends team/ sunday league million: 2009-11-17 13:47 Does he have children?

King it looks like Letsholonyane's hug on Sibusiso" ...Lol Jacob Lol u have finished Sbu Daniel: 2009-11-17 14:42 Shoes ke Skhokho at this age he is still running in the field. I admire his energy, and those who look to him as gay it's up to them. Married or not he is a motivator. SIBUSISO: 2009-11-17 14:48 Jacob: 2009-11-17 14:34 sakkie: 2009-11-17 14:53 Jeez Sa's are f**CKEN jealous man Jeer he loves soccer period you might be making all these comments saying he is gay saying he has saved enough but the fact of the matter is he loves diski some of you mighht be saying all the rubbish you might find that your mama or baba is still working at the age of sixty or seventy because some of you losers cannot support them he is doing this for his family, for keeping fit unlike you ******s who are not gay but chasing every dirty skirt ko kasi and end up dying of aids at a very early age........... I HATE PIRATES CAPTAIN: 2009-11-17 14:57 If Big Mac MacCarthy was called because of his past success I suggest to Pareirra and his Co. to also recall Shoes. Jacob: 2009-11-17 15:07 Sakkie sakkie saki! Take it easy man high-blood is dangerous, dont b this angry man. Ya one can tell dat you are Shoes supporter, if not you are having an interest. Usile wena! sakkie: 2009-11-17 15:18 am sorry Jacob but hey sometimes we need to give the credit where it is due, well soccer players some of them dont have anything to fall back on after their soccer career and Shoes realised that at an early age and decide to behave unlike others bafethu, Lunga: 2009-11-17 16:45 All of you with naive, stupid comments should look at yourselves and be ashamed. Shoes is an SA legend which deserves to applauded for his achievement. Where is Scara, Malatsi, Khanye, Mbuthu, Matombo, Ace Gulwa just to mention a few. they all no longer visible in SA soccer, but Shoes is. It goes to show that if you take care of yourself you'll live longer. You stupid idiots!! Tumelo: 2009-11-17 17:18 Hs de man!kp hustling bt dnt 4gt dat ftbl is a short precious career evn if it hs bn long 4 u,thumbs up! keizer: 2009-11-17 18:22 what is wrong with us south africans??? Sisanda: 2009-11-17 19:31 Mr King Shoes Loves playing soccer not coaching it because had he loved coaching he could have done it a long time ago. If his legs still allow him to play why not play then? Big ups Shoes you are a true legend better then Doctor in my books because you proved yourself in Turkey and playing for a minor team like Amazulu and you still played whereas Doctor only played for K. Chiefs in SA. Reggie: 2009-11-17 19:37 Jeez Sa's are f**CKEN jealous man Jeer he loves soccer period you might be making all these comments saying he is gay saying he has saved enough but the fact of the matter is he loves diski some of you mighht be saying all the rubbish you might find that your mama or baba is still working at the age of sixty or seventy because some of you losers cannot support them he is doing this for his family, for keeping fit unlike you ******s who are not gay but chasing every dirty skirt ko kasi and end up dying of aids at a very early age........... nyewuza: 2009-11-17 19:49 Thabang: 2009-11-17 12:38 JAY E: 2009-11-18 05:13 When is Shoes goin 2 retire guyz, mayb @ 50, and marries @ 55 JAY E: 2009-11-18 06:21 Go hloka mosadi ke mathata , Shoes wa boreng ko a dulang, playing for 3 or 4th or whatever division it is. I'm not impressed. humbulani brian: 2009-11-20 17:28 Shoes life begins at 40not 44, Stop being greedy lehlohonolo: 2010-01-26 02:18 I know Shoes' son who is twenty something years old and i think he lives with shoes a direct replica of shoes. I think shoes has seen it all and I bet on my last penny that 75 percent of married men want out of marriage but due to a number of obstacles such as children n wat ada people will say ur stuck in it. So Shoes has guts and congrats that he proves that age is a number because kuVodacom the youngsters run like crazy!!!! Copyright 2007 KICKOFF.com | 2009-11-17 11:18
