		Radebe, who carried a knife and was street-smart, just about managed to stay on the right side of the law; although he was active in the student movement, which hijacked government vehicles and dispensed vigilante justice when necessary, Radebe himself never physically harmed anybody.
		When Radebe was 15, his increasingly anxious parents sent him away to school in one of the so-called independent homelands, Bophuthatswana, in the north-west of the country.
		Radebe is donating the £500,000 that his testimonial game earned to charity, a gesture which is thoroughly in character.

		When Lucas Radebe is asked to autograph a photo of himself with the Kaiser Chiefs, the Leeds-based rock group who are named after his club in South Africa, he adds, "great band" before mischievously drawing an arrow that points to his head and writing the words "Lead Singer".
		Radebe is not alone in admiring the Clash-influenced five-piece: the former member of The Beatles Paul McCartney is a fan (although Liam Gallagher of Oasis is not), while they received critical acclaim at this year's South By Southwest festival in Austin, Texas and "house full" notices were posted on their headlining tour of the UK.
