Itumeleng Khune in the red corner, Ronwen Williams in the blue corner. No its not a boxing match, but present and former PSL players have weighed in on who is South Africas greatest goalie of all time (GOAT) between the two.
The two goalkeepers have both contributed immensely to South African football, with careers that are strikingly similar as they have both captained their respective clubs and the national team. They have also won several cups and leagues between them.
Khune has captained the Soweto giants Kaizer Chiefs , while, Williams is currently the captain of Tshwane giants and reigning Betway Premiership champions Mamelodi Sundowns .
They are also similar in that they are among the few goalkeepers in the modern PSL era to have won the coveted Player of the Season award. And in modern football, they are both superb shot-stoppers and can play with the ball at their feet.
However, Williams made history earlier this September after becoming the first South African and the first African goalkeeper playing on the continent to be nominated for the prestigious Ballon d'Or Yashin Trophy award.
