Where is he now: Thuso Phala

In this edition of Where Is He Now, retired footballer Thuso Phala says it will be hard to produce a future right-winger similar to himself in the local game.

Though he never tasted league title glory, the 36-year-old former Kaizer Chiefs and Mamelodi Sundowns right-winger lifted four major trophies during his playing career.

"To be honest I'm not doing anything at the moment, I'm not involved anymore," Phala tells KickOff.

"I have left football and I'm only involved in my mom's projects which has nothing to do with football.

"I've run my race and have no regrets. These days the passion is not the same in our players.

"There will never be another right-winger like me, these days it's just about signing a contract.

"I'm not talking bad about these boys but I don't think they have what the generation before them had.

"In their game, I don't see this thing of 'I wanna win cups, I wanna win league, I wanna go overseas' it's not there anymore.

"Each time we have to choose a player of the season we must look at Sundowns.

"Competition and debates do not exist in our football anymore.

"For me yes the standard has dropped."

Phala says being involved in his mother Suzan Phala's project does not mean he is totally lost to the game.

"I'm available. I'm also playing for a team called Sobona in a Masters Sunday League, I go there every Sunday.

"I drive to Pimville from Fourways every Sunday."
