In 1979, South Africa’s Jomo Sono Left His Wedding to Lead His Football Club Orlando Pirates from 2-0 Down to 4-2 Victory Over Highlands Park

In one of South African football’s most legendary moments, Jomo Sono proved just how deep his love for the beautiful game runs.

Back in 1979, on the day of his wedding, Sono received news that his team, Orlando Pirates, were 2-0 down against Highlands Park. Without hesitation, he left his own wedding to join the match.

What followed was pure magic. Sono scored one goal and assisted three, inspiring a stunning 4-2 comeback victory.

It wasn’t just a game—it was a moment of passion, loyalty, and football history. A true throwback to a time when heroes wore boots and followed their hearts onto the pitch.
