Radebe stepped into the goalkeeper position when his teammate was sent off in the 13th minute of the game, leaving the team without a goal keeper.
The former Kaizer Chiefs defender turned down offers from other Premier league clubs during his career at Leeds that stretched from 1994 to 2005 to retire as the club’s greatest defender.
Leader. Legend. Goalkeeper?
