Former Bafana captain Lucas Radebe will be the subject of a 30-minute documentary on SuperSport 3 on Saturday at 2pm, just before the build-up to the FA Cup final between Arsenal and Manchester United at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff.
The feature, the work of popular Supersport presenter Peter Davies, is a celebration of the 11 years Radebe spent at English football team Leeds United and features footage from Radebe's testimonial match at the club's Elland Road ground early in May.
It also includes exclusive behind-the-scenes footage, with a one-on-one interview with Radebe and shots of the players' changerooms, players' lounge and other parts of the famous ground.

There are a number of other interviews in the programme, with personalities like former Leeds legends Eddie Gray and Peter Lorimer, African stars Jay Jay Okocha and Tony Yeboah, former Bafana stars Phil Masinga (who was also a teammate of Radebe's at Leeds) and Doc Khumalo, and Howard Wilkinson, who was manager of Leeds when Radebe arrived at the club.
| Radebe is idolised in the Yorkshire area |
Radebe is idolised in the Yorkshire area, where locals nicknamed him "The Chief", and his popularity led to him being appointed captain of Leeds, the first black African to be afforded this accolade. Radebe is the trail-blazer for future generations of African footballers in the English game.
The programme will be repeated on SS 3 at 9:15pm on Friday night, with further screenings on the soccer channel on Sunday (1:30pm), Monday (8:30pm) and Tuesday (5pm).
