Former Mamelodi Sundowns midfielder Charles Motlohi has entertained football supporters after revealing a funny childhood experience that showed how his passion for the beautiful game sometimes led to disagreements with members of his household.

The former footballer shared the interesting memory during his appearance on KickOff's 'My First' feature, a platform that allows footballers to discuss their personal lives, childhood experiences and important moments that influenced their careers.

While reflecting on his upbringing, Motlohi explained how much he enjoyed watching football as a young boy. His enthusiasm for the sport was so strong that even deciding what to watch on television could become a subject of disagreement at home.

One particular incident involved the television remote control, which became an issue after someone in the household refused to let him choose the programme.

Remembering what happened, Motlohi said: “He didn’t allow me to touch the TV remote.”

Although the former midfielder did not provide many details about the disagreement, his response gave supporters a humorous insight into his childhood and the extent of his love for football.

For many players, the desire to become professional footballers develops during their early years. Watching matches, admiring established stars and following different competitions can gradually inspire young children to pursue careers in the sport.

Motlohi's experience reflects how football had already become an important part of his everyday life long before he established himself in professional football.

His association with Mamelodi Sundowns has also made the revelation interesting to supporters who would like to learn more about the personality and background of the former midfielder beyond his activities on the pitch.

KickOff's 'My First' feature continues to provide football personalities with an opportunity to revisit memorable moments from their past, allowing supporters to discover stories that are rarely discussed during regular football interviews.
