LESS APPRECIATION FROM FANS

As a defender Grant Kekana has lived through his career in the shadows of the more popular players who fill up positions in attacking spaces and it feels as though defenders get less appreciation from fans. “In saying that I don’t think as footballers in general we got into the game to really be popular,” Kekana says. “That is people’s preferences, so it is not something I take into account because when I became a professional, I knew what I wanted to achieve and I’m working towards achieving all of that. “It doesn’t really impact me that some people look at us based on the positions we play because mine is to do the job that I’m assigned and win trophies, which is what counts more.”
