Former Orlando Pirates and Sekhukhune United midfielder Linda Mntambo has named TS Galaxy captain Mlungisi Mbunjana as his favourite opponent from his playing days.
Mntambo, 37, announced his retirement from professional football in June this year, closing the curtain on a career that spun over a decade. The last club he featured for was Babina Noko where he also endured serious injuries towards the end.

He spoke to iDiski Times journalist Lethabo Kganyago in edition 269 of the newspaper where he reminisced about his time on the pitch.
When asked about his favourite opponent, Mntambo named Mbjunana saying he enjoyed his competitiveness and he’d always make sure to get the better of him and also post it on his social media platforms after the games.
“It’s also got to be a player from TS Galaxy, Mlungisi Mbunjana,” Mntambo told iDiski Times.
“You see the competitiveness that guy has, and we are around the same age. From the days in the NFD, when he played for a team in Cape Town, he always wanted to be physical.
“He’s got that physicality in him. So, every time, he likes to bulldoze.
“I always knew the best way for me to get the better of Mlungisi is to dribble him, and after every match we played against TS Galaxy, or wherever he is, I would post the clip where I dribble him just to make fun of him because he is that one player, I enjoyed winning against and tickling.”
