FOOTBALL CAREER

Moshoeu began his amateur football at Blue Whales before moving to Giant Blackpool and finally Chiefs in 1988. It was in 1993 when “Shoes” moved to make his name in Europe.

Turkey is the nation where he stayed for 10 years, earning legendary status at local giants Fenerbahce.

Mosheou returned to Mzansi to rejoin Chiefs before finishing his career at AmaZulu aged 43 which set a PSL record in 2008.

Additionally, Mosheou was a Bafana regular and jersey number 10 with 73 caps, including the AFCON 1996 gold medal and a leading role at the FIFA 1998 World Cup in France.

DEATH

Mosheou took his last breath at the Morningside Hospital following an extended fight against stomach cancer. He died at the age of 49 before he was laid to rest on 25 April in Randburg, 2015.

Rest in Peace Shooooooes!
