[@Mkhayawami]

Brockie you're a legend!

[@eucannkosi]

That volley he scored against pirates,for me,it will always be one of my favorite

[@tshembochauke356]

I remember the goal, with Brighton Mhlongo as a goalkeeper

[@CorneliusMokhele]

A lethal striker .What a legend Jeremy Brookie.He must deadly inside box.

[@MikeMortonTalksFootball]

Sniper of note

[@phannymotshabi3204]

Man!!! I really really admired Brox, he was definitely exposed the technical weaknesses (strikers) we have in SA. I hope he can complete his coaches badges and come be a striker coach here in SA. Great interview Mike keep going brother we enjoying your content man👊

[@MikeMortonTalksFootball]

Thank you so much for the support and kind words!

[@hopewellfakude913]

Finally, I hope youngsters from other clubs mostly Supersport United will now know how difficult that prison is, they put you on injured list while you're not 😢

[@MikeMortonTalksFootball]

Some players have gone there and done very well.. hard to generalise

[@actuallywhatthehellissouthA]

Great striker❤ S/O Mike

[@lwandomhlahlo6961]

Wow Hluphizwe 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🙏🙏 what a player he was 🔥🔥

[@MikeMortonTalksFootball]

Very very good! 👍🏻

[@zwaks.mthimkhulu]

It's unfortunate what happened to his career after the Sundowns move. You couldn't touch him as Supersport. I think Supersport could've tried harder to keep him so we could enjoy a few more years of his partnership with Grobler. We don't know what Sundowns was offering but surely they could've struck some kind of compromise deal. Everyone lost when he went to Sundowns.

[@sandilezuma4173]

He always killed us as Pirates, him and Gobler

[@MikeMortonTalksFootball]

Deadly combo

[@manqobamavundla4517]

What a striker 🙌🏿🙌🏿

[@MikeMortonTalksFootball]

One of the best!

[@WandileBhebula-ui9bq]

Jeremy could easy be a strikers coach and help teams specially with the attacking side of the game. Him, Mbesuma, Nomvete, Ramagalela. Mphela, the late Raselemane, Ndlanya, Masinga... Killer Strikers.

[@MikeMortonTalksFootball]

Agreed! His technique was out of this world.. could definitely help the next generation

[@magezieric6254]

But Jeremy retired early why

[@hyonimarru]

I think if brockie had already not had a cap for his home country he would have played for Bafana at some point

[@mandla247]

Volley Specialist!!

[@MikeMortonTalksFootball]

Yes he definitely knew how to strike a ball!!

[@siyabongamatroos5470]

Its not easy playing for Sundownsfc askies Jeremy
