Former Sundowns Midfielder Charles Motlohi Shares Funny Childhood Memory About TV Remote
Former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Charles Motlohi has entertained football fans with a childhood memory, revealing how his love for television, particularly football, sometimes led to disagreements at home.
Motlohi shared the interesting story during his appearance on KickOff's My First feature, a programme that gives football personalities an opportunity to reflect on their childhood experiences and memorable moments before becoming professional players.
During the interview, the former midfielder recalled an incident involving someone at home who refused to allow him to operate the television remote control because of his enthusiasm for watching TV.
“He didn’t allow me to touch the TV remote,” Motlohi recalled.
Although it may have seemed like a minor household disagreement, the story offered an amusing insight into his childhood and the interests that shaped his early years.
For many footballers, watching matches on television plays an important role in developing their passion for the game. It allows young players to observe experienced footballers, understand different playing styles and learn more about the sport before pursuing professional careers.
Motlohi's recollection has given supporters a chance to discover a more personal side of the former player, beyond his football achievements and professional journey.
His association with Mamelodi Sundowns remains a notable part of his football career. The Pretoria-based club is widely recognised as one of South Africa's most successful football teams, with an impressive record in domestic competitions and continental tournaments.
However, his appearance on the feature focused less on his achievements on the pitch and more on personal experiences from his younger days.
KickOff's My First series offers football personalities an opportunity to share interesting stories about their backgrounds, childhood memories and experiences that helped shape their lives.
Motlohi's story about the television remote has added a humorous touch to the conversation, reminding fans that even professional footballers have ordinary childhood experiences that reveal their personalities and early passions.
