As Moroka Swallows legend Joel "Ace" Mnini turned 61-years old on March 15th 2020, #sms channel's S'Busiso Mseleku took up the opportunity to reflect on Aces' former glory days with the "Dube Birds".
Two INCREDIBLE LEGENDS right here. When I started supporting Swallows, Ace was the man, and later on when I started reading the The Sowetan's back page S'bu was the writer of that page.... RIP Bra S'bu.
My best game by Ace Mnini was the 1980 Swallows v Chiefs, 5-5 draw. I am a Chiefs fan, but Ace Mnini was at the top of his game on that day. One of the revered legends of the NPSL Era.
Gone are the days when football was enjoyable not this bubblegum football we watch these days. Live on legends. We hear some these days comparing themselves to you guys.
Talking about dribbling wizard!!! They need to show us his videos during his prime.There is only one ace Mnini. Those kind of players we will never see them again!!!!
Bra Ace...@61 years....khula Coach, I use to sit on his lap coming from George Koch stadium for a training session ngidlala kuChappies little league yeMoroka Swallows under 8, he was playing for the first team with the likes of Master Motloung, The Beast Seboko, Goodman Hlongwane and Larry Parks....then he coached me at Dobsonville Eleven kwaMahlobo games.
Ace Sesha Mseshi Mnini ,I remember dribbling four Wits players at corner ,his boot came out and continued playing with one boot and the defenders shouting instructions at each other. Again, I remember him dribbling Ryder Mofokeng and the Jackie Masike telling Ryder to kick Ace Mnini. 😂😂😂😂😂❤ Joel Sesha Mseshi Mnini.Those were the days 😢😢😢
What a player,we called him the dribbler wizard.Ryder Mofokeng was the victim of this left footed player.He was marvellous to watch.He was right half of the team their surnames started with "M".If they were trailing before halftime expect a new complete Swallows after that.Mario Tuani would say "SOWETO" ya qala e nyakanyaka.Robert Marawa please go and interview that grootman.
Fully agree with you, Ryder Mofokeng had a torrid time marking him.In one the games Ryder had change his playing shorts because he tried to tackle Mnini had his shorts torn out and Jackie Masike shouted instructions on how to tackle him,or kick him if possible. 😂😂😂😂❤.
These are the people who should be playing a role in Safa technical team.Danny Jordan doesn't have the best interest at heart for this country for football.He lacks vision.
