Benni McCarthy has not always been my favourite South African footballer. In fact I don't think he has ever been, until he joined Orlando Pirates this year. From the onset, he put in some well-polished performances for the Buccaneers which suggested that he was not only playing so that he could cash in his last few paycheques as a footballer.
His quality performances for the Bucs have seen Pirates add two trophies to their impressive collection over the past 2 seasons and may yet claim a third trophy this season if they successfully defend their league title. Bafana Bafana fans know Benni as a prima donna and haven't always warmed up to him either, and West Ham fans probably know him as that fat lazy guy.
This past Sunday, I read a Sunday Times article by Carlos Amato, who happens to be my favourite sports writer, about the interview he had with Benni. It is quite a refreshing read and shows a different side to Benni, that most fans of the game probably didn't know existed. Come to think of it, I have never read about any interview with Benni before.
Here's Carlos Amato's article on Benni, hopefully you will find it as interesting as I did.
