Lucas Radebe

Era: 1989 - 2005

Nationality: South African

Position: Defender/Midfielder

Team(s): Kaizer Chiefs, Leeds United

Caps: 70 - 2 goals (South Africa)

Trivia: Signed by Kaizer Chiefs as a midfielder. In 1991 however, Radebe was shot whilst driving, though luckily he was not critically wounded. The motive for the shooting never became clear, but Radebe himself believes that someone had been hired to shoot him in order to prevent him from moving to another club. Partially motivated by the shooting incident and at the request of his FIFA agent, Lucas and another South African player, Philemon Masinga, moved to Leeds United in 1994. Over the course of several years Radebe firmly established himself as a club legend, retiring after having played over 200 matches for the Yorkshire side.
