Itumeleng Khune is the first South African to appear in the Goal 50 thanks to a standout season as goalkeeper and captain of double-winning Kaizer Chiefs.
The 26-year-old kept 12 clean sheets in 29 games as the Chiefs edged Platinum Stars to the Premier Soccer League title, earning Khune the recognition as the PSL’s Player of the Season. He was also Player of the Tournament in the Nedbank Cup success.
Khune’s reflexes, distribution and bravery were prominent throughout 2012-13 and not only for his club side. He was also a star performer for South Africa at the Africa Cup of Nations, producing numerous saves to help Bafana Bafana to the quarter-finals.
His modesty has endeared himself to both fans and players, as has his loyalty to the Chiefs who he has repeatedly refused to leave despite interest from Europe.
