This book celebrates the life and times of South Africa's Petrus Molemela, football administrator extraordinaire, who some pundits reckon was nigh-identical with Nigeria's (late) Lekan Salami. Salami was synonymous with the Shooting Stars club in Nigeria; whilst Molemela will always be synonymous with the Bloemfontein Celtic Club of South Africa. This book lifts the lid on Molemela, who was also a successful businessman, community leader among many other things.
Molemela was also an amazing scout, always on the look-out for exciting football talent across the borders (internationally) - hence an extraordinary galaxy of footballers would wear and grace the colours of Bloem Celtic over the decades, with the colourful Molemela at the helm.
This superb work shines scintillating light on the flamboyant, visionary Molemela - warts and all.

Fine gentleman too, the author, Mr Pietersen...we met him when we were in South Africa. Charley himself has done great things for Bloem Celtic club over the decades.
