AmaZulu president Sandile Zungu has paid tribute to the late former Usuthu and Bafana Bafana coach Clive Barker, who passed away on Saturday morning.
The 78-year-old Barker, who led Usuthu to the 1992 Coca-Cola Cup glory, passed away after he lost a battle with Lewy Body Dementia (LBD).
“Our deepest condolences go out to the Barkers, his wife, sons and the entire family. He will always be remembered for his loyal servanthood to the beautiful game across the whole of the continent of Africa. AmaZulu and Bafana Bafana supporters hold him dearly in their hearts for his achievements and it is no different to me as current leader of this historical brand, called AmaZulu Football Club,” Zungu said.
Barker was in charge when Bafana won the 1996 Africa Cup of Nations in South Africa and then led them to qualifying for the 1998 FIFA World Cup finals in France.
