Benni McCarthy loved the food in Portugal, and struggled with the Spanish dinner time. The South African football legend joins hosts Sibongile Mafu and Steve Steinfeld for a raw and honest conversation about his career, memories and his new memoir "Benni by Benni McCarthy."

From growing up in the tough Cape Flats neighbourhoods to becoming a Champions League winner with Porto, Benni shares stories you've never heard before.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• How a chance at Seven Stars led to European scouts from Real Madrid and Barcelona
• His incredible ability to learn Portuguese in just 2 months (and his unique method)
• The childhood trauma that drove his success and made him into the man he is today.

Plus, Yusuf Limbada’s daughter is the reason Woolies sells mochi. Woolies Food’s Head of Trade: Prepared, Bakery and Frozen at Woolies Food sheds light on exactly why the food at Woolies is more expensive, and why it's worth it.
