Former Kaizer Chiefs coach Muhsin Ertugral remembers Lucky Maselesele after his sudden passing.
Maselesele was part of a group of youngsters who were unleashed during Muhsin Ertugral's first spell at Naturena and made his debut in 2000 at the age 19 years old.
The Turkish coach says the Alexandra-born player was very proud of his ability, a very good thinker that would make things happen for the team upfront.
"He was a type of a player that you need to tickle, talented and proud of his ability," Ertugral told the Siya crew.
"I wanted him to always be more focused on the finishing as he always wanted to play more and get involved in build ups. You don’t find these talents anymore, (he was) very quick in mind.
"A very special talent, I would say around the box was his speciality. Sad to hear of his passing. His way was short, but strong. I wish his family strength through these difficult times. May his soul rest in peace."
Maselesele scored his first Chiefs goal in a 2-1 loss to SuperSport United on 17 June 2000, won the BOBSave Super Bowl trophy.
During his career, he featured for Manning Rangers, Maritzburg United, Thanda Royal Zulu and Civics FC and retired in 2011.
