A scorpion kick clearance on 28 October 2015 is the save Chiefs supporters replay, though the one that travelled further was the David Villa penalty he beat away at the 2009 Confederations Cup. Voted PSL Footballer of the Season in 2012/13, a rare thing for a goalkeeper, he added three Goalkeeper of the Season awards, league titles in 2013 and 2015, domestic cups with Kaizer Chiefs, and more than 90 caps, more than any South African goalkeeper. Career record: club career at Kaizer Chiefs.
