His death came just three weeks before he was due to turn 30. It was a life taken away so early yet having left so many memories in domestic football that he had also been nicknamed 'Black Jesus' for what he could do with the ball at his feet. He was always known as the magician from Katlehong whose arrogance on the ball was second to none. Misunderstood by some yet loved by many what cannot be discounted is that he brought the entertainment value to domestic football. Whenever he played it was just as difficult not to notice him. Lanky, dark in complexion, a customary sluggish run and with a look in his eyes that shouted 'let's get it on', Ngobese made the ball talk when it was at his feet.
