KNYSNA FOOTBALL NEWS - Knysna local and former Supersport United captain-turned-assistant coach, Thabo September (38), spent some time in Knysna during the most recent international break in the Premier Soccer League (PSL) DStv Premiership.
In an interview with Knysna-Plett Herald, September, who now lives in Pretoria, reflected on years gone by as well as what it's been like serving as a coach thus far.
September was born in Knysna in 1982, and was primarily raised in the White Location suburb of the town.
He was born into a football family, with his father having founded the now-defunct local club Knysna Bafana one year before he was born.
Early beginnings
He started out in the club's youth systems at age 10, and after a few years of craving more game time, he opted to join his father's rivals United Brothers. "Whenever we played against Knysna Bafana, I always wanted to play my best to prove that I am good enough to play top-quality football," September said.
At age 17 he returned to Knysna Bafana, playing for them until 2003 when he moved to Cape Town having completed a degree in sports management at the then - PE Technikon in George.
