“I would love us to talk about the incident so that we remain on good terms.”

“Remember, he was a big player for them. Every time I touched the ball, they were booing me.”

“I still remember the way Chiefs supporters in the stands shouted at me.”

“But I wonder if Hunt would even want the job.”

“I can't deny that Hunt also makes a quality candidate, though I had never really thought about it before.”

“To be honest, I've been saying for a while that we don't necessarily need a local coach to lead Bafana, but I completely agree that we need a coach who is as invested in the success of the team as we supporters are.”

“The best person to execute this would be a South African coach because he has the same passion that we all feel for Bafana”

“Our players must stop regarding Bafana as an afterthought, we need players who will want to play for the nation no matter who the opponent are or the stipulations of the match.”

“I feel that's what is needed before the team is taken in any direction.”

“As a South African I would like to see the new coach instil some national pride within the team.”

“He took Moroka Swallows out of relative and obscurity, he helped SuperSport United to three consecutive league titles and has transformed Bidvest Wits into a cup competing team”

“Next to Gordon Igesund, Hunt is one of the best coaches in the land.”
