August 1953 - Michael Mokgatle Captains Alexandra - and can he KICK! - Michael Mokgatle is South African's crack full-back. He plays for Moroka Lions and for Transvaal, and this year he was made captain of Alexandra F. A, Durban and District, and many other associations. When he was at school (like many other talented men, he was at St. Peter's Rosentenville) there was a priest who played football in the same team. That's how he got the nickname - Alleluyah.. Amen!: and its stuck ever since. You can hear his fans shouting it on the touchline. (Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)
