	Benni McCarthy - Definition, explanation
		Benedict Saul McCarthy, known as Benni McCarthy, born 12 November 1977 in Cape Town, South Africa is a professional footballer, currently playing for Portuguese side FC Porto and the South Africa national football team.
		Playing for Seven Stars, the 18-year old McCarthy scored 27 goals in 29 games in the 1995/96 season, followed by another 12 goals in 20 matches, which earned him a transfer to Ajax Amsterdam farm team Ajax Cape Town.
		After two poor seasons, in the 2001-02 season he was loaned to struggling FC Porto where he would meet newly appointed coach José Mourinho, and a team more near the off-europe places than the championship race, but before turning into a regular choice he would have to play in the 2002 African Nations Cup.
