In good Kompany: How SA football's brightest star Lyle Foster landed dream English transfer

Lance Foster and his wife, the parents of Bafana Bafana forward Lyle Foster, were sitting in the stands at the Het Kuipje Stadium in Belgium earlier this month watching their son, Lyle, turn out for K.V.C Westerlo against Genk when they recognised a familiar figure sitting alongside them.

It was Vincent Kompany.

One of the most prolific Premier League defenders of all time, who now manages Championship side Burnley, Kompany wore a grey beanie, long black coat and scarf in an effort to evade any media attention.
