Stephen Keshi Quotes

Stephen Keshi Quotes

I felt sorry for Senzo Meyiwa family and for the people of South Africa because it’s a shame we lost such a huge talent. In all the games he had played I think he didn’t concede any goal.

Stephen Keshi

It’s always good to have your players with you, it makes you feel great. That is just it. The coach and the players understand one another but people outside don’t understand. But it’s good to see him, it’s good to see all the players.
