[PICTURE] Tshabalala Posts A TBT Pic With Man City Legend
When you speak of one of the most recognisable names in South African football, you definitely can’t leave out Siphiwe Tshabalala who made himself a name when he got scored the opening goal of 2010 FIFA World Cup that was held in South Africa. Many legends of the game acknowledged Shabba as one of the most gifted in Africa, that’s why even after 12 years, he’s still recognised.
Tshabalala once met the former Manchester City and FC Barcelona star Yaya Toure when he was here in South Africa. Toure also hails from Africa – Ivory Coast. Look at the picture below.

TSHABALALA RELIVES MOMENT OF 2010 WORLD CUP FAMOUS GOAL
Last month Siphiwe Tshabalala remembered the moment when he got the 2010 FIFA World Cup underway at FNB Stadium. The 54th-minute strike that completely changed the young man’s name was followed by an iconic celebration demonstrating the bubbliness of the nation.
The loud cheers across the whole country, the wave of South African flags, and the sound of the vuvuzelas, all feel like yesterday for Shabba. “Time flies, but it feels like yesterday and it never gets old,” Tshabalala told www.Safa.net.
“The moment is still on my mind and on many other people’s minds as well. I am just grateful, eternally grateful that I scored probably the most important goal in the history of our football and in the history of the World Cup as well. I am just happy that people still celebrate the goal and appreciate it, from players, commentators, you know, everyone, everyone.”

WHAT IS TSHABALALA DOING NOW?
As a seasoned footballer who has done almost everything he wanted to do in the game, Tshabalala surely has a lot on the table outside of playing football. But the most important part is that he’s not retired as of yet according to his agent Jazzman Mahlakgane who confirmed in January.
“He has not retired. I don’t want to start any conversations about Tshabalala at the moment because I might get distracted as we are currently busy working on something for him,” Mahlakgane said as per KickOff.
