1 Daniel Mudau

Starts/goals: 260/110

‘Mambush’ was a busy forward whose game revolved around his pace and scoring goals. By the time the PSL came into life he was already an established forward with his break into topflight football having come back in 1992.

He played in the PSL from age 28 onwards but still scored at an average of 2.36 games per goal, after having slammed another 70 in the NSL era.

He was slow off the mark into his PSL career but then after turning 30 his scoring numbers for the next four seasons read 26, 21, 23 and 17, proving how much of a serial scorer he was, even into his 30s.

Though relatively tiny in build, he compensated his lack of physique with commitment that is yet to be matched in the domestic game to date. Mudau played for all his career in domestic football retiring during the 2004/05 season after making just three appearances. He scored the goals that won Sundowns the league in three seasons, as well as the BOB Save Super Bowl and Rothmans Cup.

2 Wilfred Mugeyi

Starts/goals: 199/91

The ‘Silver Fox’ arrived at Umtata Bush Bucks in 1993 after having won the league the previous year with Black Aces back home in Zimbabwe.
