Sono is amongst first black players, including Steve 'Kalamazoo 'Mokone, Patrick 'Ace' Ntsoeleng and Kaizer 'Chincha Guluva' Motaung to ply their trade overseas during the apartheid era.
Whilst municipalities in Tshwane and eThekwini have named Lucas Moripe Stadium and Sugar Ray Xulu Stadium after football legends, Sono insists doesn't care if he doesn't get statue or a stadium named after him.
"So whether they put a statue, they name a stadium and even a street (after my name), I don't care because when I go to heaven, I will smile to say how many people I have made rich, how many people I have made happy, how many people I have made to enjoy football.
"I am still creating lot of players you will hear a lot about them soon. I am not bothered about street named after me. If it's done, let be so, if not done. It's not an issue to be honest, it's not an issue."
Meanwhile, Sono left one local football fan, Thabo Chiloane, with a big smile on his face after presenting him with an autographed photo on his birthday recently.
"This photo was taken on the same day when I left my wedding to play for Orlando Pirates at the Rand stadium," Sono told Chiloane who could not hold his excitement after meeting his hero.
"When you talk about Jomo, you talk about Pele in same breath. Jomo remains my greatest hero. This is a special day for me," Chiloane added.
