So many times the bigger clubs would not release their players for the National Team - he used to arrange training sessions before matches and on one occasion five players turned up. He pleaded with the South African Football Association to help him get the players he wanted but to no avail. I believe certaon coaches prior to him have had similar problems - I only hope somebody at the top wakes up and ensures that ALL the players are available for selection, otherwise why appoint a coach??
Hard as it is for me to admit this, but pigs might fly first
