Radebe, who also coached Manzini Wanderers in Swaziland, died of an illness at a hospital in Johannesburg on Wednesday.

He was a hit with Usuthu in the 80s, playing alongside Joel Faya, Neil Tovey, Owen Nzimande, Special Sithole and Julius Chirwa to name a few.

Archie's younger sister, Nomthandazo, confirmed her brother's death.

"He was passionate about football and a person who likes his church," she said.
