Kaizer Chiefs and Bafana Bafana goalkeeper Itumeleng Khune took to his Instagram account on Thursday to share a precious moment with a young fan named Anesu.
He gave Anesu his goalkeeping gloves and now the little guy cannot go to sleep without them.
His mother sent a picture to the soccer star in which she explains how much her son loves Khune’s gloves.
Khune goes on to say that he understands and admits he did the same when his idol Brian Baloyi handed him his gloves when he was just a little boy.
In an earlier post from three days ago, Khune shares the moment when he first met his little fan at OR Tambo International Airport.
“He told me I inspired him a lot to be a Goalkeeper so what a better way to put a smile on his face by giving him a pair of my @nikefootball match gloves,” he says. “Everything of the best in your Goalkeeping Career, wish you’ll inspire the next Generation.”
