War horse: Moffat says he was a fan favorite during a successful spell. PIC: CHRISTIAN MOTLHABANE

FRANCISTOWN: Boyce ‘Sphonono - The Horse’ Moffat was born 62 years ago in Virginia, South Africa where he started his football career before retracing his steps to his native country and shined for yesteryear Botswana’s finest clubs.

In 1971 the Moffat family moved from Virginia in the Free State and settled in Bluetown, Francistown. The Moffat brothers, the late Temba ‘Black Engine’ Moffat, a defender and Boyce, a striker, joined TAFIC.

The Horse had started his football at High Parks United in Virginia as a goalkeeper at 14 years and at 16, he joined TAFIC. Due to his speed and dribbling skills, he was converted to a striker a few games after arrival at the Francistown Club.
