"This is the best one‚" Gavin Hunt exclaimed after winning his fourth league title and first for Bidvest Wits in their 96-year history with Wednesday night’s 2-0 premiership win against Polokwane City. It is not often you will see a tough-as-nails‚ hard-to-please man like Hunt shed tears. It said much for the effort the coach has put into building Wits into a force in South African football that Hunt could not hold back the tears in his post-match TV interview on an emotional night at Bidvest Stadium. After three seasons of being nearly men under Hunt‚ finishing third‚ third and second in the league and with no cup trophies‚ 2016-17 has paid back the dividends and then some for Wits, with an MTN8 and PSL double. In doing so‚ Hunt put to rest suggestions he had lost his league title-winning edge‚ joining Ted Dumitru and Gordon Igesund on four championships.
