RIP Phil. One of two diamonds that came to us together from South Africa.

Independent:

''Masinga was signed for Leeds by then manager Howard Wilkinson at the same time as his compatriot Lucas Radebe and went on to score five times in 31 league appearances for the Elland Road side.

He left for Swiss team St Gallen in 2006 and went on to play for Salernitana and Bari in Italy.

He won 58 caps for South Africa, helping them win the African Nations Cup on home soil in 1996.

He also scored the decisive goal against Congo which sealed South Africa's qualification for the 1998 World Cup, the first time they had qualified for the tournament.''

RIP Phil.

I have fond memories of him playing for us in our European campaign, scoring away against a Portuguese side that was on an island in the Atlantic somewhere if I'm not mistaken. 5Live on the radio at the time as it wasn't shown on TV, but it sounded like a cracking performance.

Really great career for Bafana Bafana, too.
