Gavin Hunt has been a fixture in South African football for more than four decades, from his debut as a teenager in the Hellenic defence to a stellar coaching career now unmatched for its omnipresence.
The SuperSport United boss will turn 60 later this year and early next season - barring any changes - celebrate 1000 matches as a coach in the top flight of South African football.
This is on top of a playing career with more than 300 league and cup appearances, giving him the kind of longevity that is unlikely to be matched.
Hunt has won four league titles, three in a row with SuperSport United and one more recently with Wits, making him the only coach to come between Mamelodi Sundowns and the DStv Premiership over the past eight years. He talks to SoccerClub.
