SIPHELELE MAGUBANE - UPINGTON CITY

- By Mzoxolo Budaza

Thanks for your time Siphelele. Please remind our readers, who’s Siphelele, where did your professional football begin and where did you enjoy yourself the most? Siphelele Magubane was born in Mandeni, KZN, and my football career started at a very young age when I was about 14, 15 years old, if I am not mistaken. The year was 2008, and that’s when I joined the SuperSport United Academy. I really enjoyed my football when I was at Golden Arrows, but won't mention under which coach...

No problem. That's the time when I won my accolade for PSL Goal of the Season. It was a very special season for me because I was going through some stress, let me say difficulties, but managed to have a good season. That was the 2017/18 season.

Please tell us about some of your standout memories at Arrows.

The outstanding one for me was when we played BidVest Wits away, it was an MTN8 match and I got a concussion in the 31st minute. We were leading the match 1-0, if I am not mistaken, and the next thing I knew, I woke up in hospital. I immediately asked the nurse what the final score was, only to find out we lost on penalties. I couldn’t even remember how I got that concussion. That was funny at the same time.

Please tell us more, we want to hear more of those funny moments.
