Ronwen Williams Pays Tribute to The Late Clive Barker!

Ronwen Williams Pays Tribute to The Late Clive Barker! This follows the tragic death of the former national team mentor.

Clive Barker passed away on Saturday morning after battling with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD). Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Ronwen Williams has paid tribute to Barker and sent condolences to their family.

Barker remains the only head coach to lead Bafana Bafana to AFCON glory, after accomplishing this in 1996. He also took the national team to their first ever FIFA World Cup, two years later in 1998.

His legacy in South African football will remain unmatched and his legend will be told for decades to come.

“Firstly, may his wonderful soul rest in peace,” the goalkeeper told the press.

“It’s a massive loss for the football family in South Africa. What he has done for us is to give us all hope as the only coach to win AFCON.

“He gave us hope that we can do it so to his family and loved ones, we feel the pain with you guys

“He was the one that made people take note of Themba Zwane a few years ago so we feel the pain and hopefully going forward we can use his legacy as an inspiration to keep fighting.” Williams spoke.

South Africa take on Morocco in their final AFCON Qualifier this Saturday at the FNB Stadium. This is an opportunity to dedicate a victory to Barker.

Kick off this weekend is at 17h00. Ronwen Williams Pays Tribute to The Late Clive Barker!
