NEIL TOVEY

IT WAS A SPECIAL PRIVILEGE TO BE THE CAPTAIN OF THE FIRST TEAM BACK IN INTERNATIONAL FOOTBALL. THAT’S ONE ACHIEVEMENT NO ONE ELSE WILL EVER MATCH.

It was the opening of a door to all the players who could now dream of playing in Europe. It wasn’t long after that Lucas and Phil Masinga went to Leeds United and since them, everyone has had a proper opportunity. We didn’t know what to expect. We were a little overawed and obviously played within ourselves. But I don’t remember them being that physical. We were easily a match for them and we should have won more convincingly.
