Jerry Sikhosana (born 8 June 1969[2]) is a South African former soccer player.
Playing most of his career at Orlando Pirates, he was an assumed fan of Pirates' fierce rival Kaizer Chiefs, and also performed for his team at the Soweto derbies, including a hat-trick in the 1996 Bob Save Superbowl semifinal, a game known as the Jerry Sikhosana derby.[3][4][5][6][7] He was nicknamed "Legs of Thunder" after a champion racehorse that was a character on a South African TV series, and has earned legendary status at Orlando Pirates as a formidable goal poacher in the 1990s.[8]
He also scored to help Pirates to victory in the replayed final of the 1996 BP Top 8.[9]
He was part of the 1995 African Champions League winning team.[10][11]
