Benni McCarthy started playing football at just 12 years old. Reflecting on his career, he credits the gangster league for shaping his talent and turning him into the player he became. His exceptional skills earned him the joint-top scorer in Burkina Faso at the 1998 African Cup of Nations.
He is the first South African to win the UEFA Champions League and has clinched domestic league titles in Portugal, the Netherlands, and South Africa. McCarthy holds the record as Bafana Bafana’s all-time leading scorer, with 31 goals for the national team.
As a teenager, he debuted for South Africa in 1997 under the legendary manager Clive Barker. His European playing career included stints with Ajax, Celta Vigo, FC Porto, Blackburn Rovers, and West Ham United.

Fluent in English, Spanish, Dutch, and Portuguese, McCarthy scored 18 goals in the 2006-07 Premier League season, finishing as the second-top scorer behind Cristiano Ronaldo, who netted 17 times. In October 2007, he achieved a remarkable feat by scoring with 10 consecutive shots on target in the Premier League.
