Emmanuel Ngobese

He started off at Kaizer Chiefs' development team (1994-1998), and then played for United FC, Thanda Royal Zulu, Kaizer Chiefs, Zulu Royals, Tembisa Classic, Hellenic and Moroka Swallows during his career. It was at Kaizer Chiefs where he was at his prime from 2003 to 2005. Their last league game in the 2004/2005 PSL season where they lifted the league cup will always be remembered as his last best game of his whole career. His career took a downfall when the late Ted Dumitru left the team after he had been his coach and winning the Premier league twice accompanied by a few domestic trophies with him in the past 2 years. After Dumitru's departure, Chiefs hired the German coach Ernst Middendorp who sidelined Ngobese for the whole season, alleging he was confusing professional soccer for street football. By the time Middendorp left the team at the end of the season, Ngobese was completely out of form. The German international relieved Ngobese of his contract duties and was signed by Thanda Royal Zulu where he never played any significant games, and it is here that he was diagnosed with tuberculosis and was forced to hang his boots until he met his demise a few years later.
