Fulham midfielder Dikgacoi: Leeds legend Radebe my hero

Fulham midfielder Kagisho Dikgacoi says there's plenty of South African players he looks up to.

Dikgacoi is in his first season in Europe and admits Leeds United legend Lucas Radebe is someone who inspired him as a youngster.

He told fulhamfc.com: "Radebe is what you would call a ‘legend’ in the game and someone that inspired a lot of young people to follow in his footsteps, certainly players like myself, Steven Pienaar [of Everton], Benni McCarthy [of West Ham] and Aaron Mokoena [of Portsmouth]. He has been an inspiration and a good ambassador for South Africa.

"But I think the current generation of South African footballers are also doing a good job and helping to take the game forward."
