Mlambo most probably did not expect Benni McCarthy to reply with his own names.

While one of the names, Christen, is only known in the lower league in Cape Town, the other name, Hartely, played his football for Orlando Pirates and Ajax Cape Town.

“I’ve played with both Money Eyes and Junaid Hartley, two naturally gifted players with incredible skills but Money Eyes was Ronaldinho level,” Benni McCarthy said.

“For me the biggest waste of talent ever,” he added.

I’ve played wit both Money Eyes and Junaid Hartley, 2 naturally gifted players wit incredible skills but Money Eyes was Ronaldinho level. For me the biggest waist of talent ever.
