Steve Lekoelea, a former right winger for the Orlando Pirates who was famous for his free-kick expertise, has avoided the limelight ever since he retired from football. Now a picture of him from recently has made its way onto social media.By Monday, the photo had made its way onto Facebook. It depicts Lekoelea, who went by the nickname "Chippa" while playing, donning the jersey of the Sebokeng Masters League team Hlanganani Masters.
During his time with the Pirates, he was a fan favorite, and this photo gives fans a rare glimpse into his current lifestyle.Lekoelea was born in Sebokeng and is 47 years old. A former Monaco left winger known for his skill with the ball, Molefi Nale, is also seen in the photo with him. Throughout their careers, the two collaborated on the field.As a means for former players to remain active in the sport, masters leagues are widespread in South African communities.
They are more commonly played for fun and as a way to reconnect with former teammates than as a serious profession.Some of Lekoelea's fans have taken to the post to wonder how he is settling into life after football and how he compares to other great right wingers from the PSL era. Those questions are left up to interpretation because the photo doesn't reveal much about his personal situation. There will be varying opinions among fans, but this photo has brought back fond memories of a much-loved player.
