Jacob 'Terror' Sephooa, the development coach of Kaizer Chiefs captain Itumeleng Khune says the goalkeeper was “a disaster” after he trialled at Amakhosi as a forward and failed.
Arriving at Chiefs as a 12-year-old in 1999, Khune underwent trials first as a striker, then as a defender and was unsuccessful in both attempts.
Sephooa who was then Chiefs Under-13 coach reveals that a dejected Khune wept after being told he did not make the grade following the auditions, having travelled to Johannesburg from his hometown of Ventersdorp.
