Description

Matthew Booth has made an impression in the football world in many ways. After kicking off his football career in Cape Town, Matthew went on to represent Ajax Cape Town, Mamelodi Sundowns and Bidvest Wits in South Africa. Matthew played in Europe and drew interest from a number of clubs and whilst in Russia, he represented Rostov and Krylia Sovetov in which he played more than 100 matches for Krylia. Matthew also played for South Africa on 37 occasions and shared his thoughts on a appreciative but agonising 2010 World Cup.    

Matthew added that, " It shows what a beautiful game, this [football] is. You can be thin, fat, it doesn't matter what colour you are, or what language you speak,...if you have a footballing brain and you train hard and have the right technique, really anyone is able to play."   

Matthew is also involved with the SA Football Legends and you can find out more about the organisation on https://www.safl.co.za
