Philemon Masinga

The former Bafana Bafana striker spent only two seasons at the English side, and failed to live up to expectations.

He joined Leeds from Mamelodi Sundowns, and made 31 appearances, scoring five goals in the process.

While his time at the side was less than stellar, he did make history by being the first black South African to play in the Premier League, The Guardian reported.

Lucas Radebe

Undoubtedly, the most famous South African to wear a Leed’s kit was the man they called Rhoo.

The former Bafana captain made 255 appearances for the side in the 10 years he spent there.

Radebe still proudly supports the side and recently wished them well ahead of their game against Southampton for the final place in the English Premier League.

David Somma
