Imagine Teko Modise in a Kaizer Chiefs shirt?

KAIZER CHIEFS NEVER CALLED TEKO MODISE

What a revelation. Teko Modise is one of the greatest players in Premier Soccer League (PSL) history. He made his at Orlando Pirates and later at Mamelodi Sundowns. It could have easily been Kaizer Chiefs. According to Modise, his dream was to play for Amakhosi but the club never made the move.

“Irvin Khoza sold me the story of joining Orlando Pirates, it was an easy decision but not because I can’t say no. I could have went to Chiefs if it (the opportunity) came earlier (than Pirates),” Modise revealed on Izinja zeGame podcast.

“After the first season of me playing in Mvela (National First Division), Bobby (Motaung) called me personally and said ‘I want you to play for Chiefs’ and I said ‘I’m ready when you are’ but for five, six years they (Chiefs) never came through. That’s why I started disliking Chiefs.

“I knew number ten jersey was waiting for me at Chiefs, I knew I could do better (than Chiefs players at the time), so imagine my performances in a Pirates jersey and put it at Chiefs…The first club I got introduced to as a kid was Kaizer Chiefs, my idol (Doctor Khumalo) played for Kaizer Chiefs, I wanted to play for Kaizer Chiefs. I didn’t care how much money I was going to earn,” Modise added.
