Retired football coach Walter Rautmann reflects on magical stories of clubs using muti and talks about an ordeal with intruders and surviving a death scare.

The 79-year-old was in conversation with decorated sportscaster Robert Marawa on his Marawa Sports Worldwide show.

“I nearly died. For 30 seconds my heart stopped and I was gone ... I already heard Mr [former president Nelson] Mandela in heaven (saying) ‘coach come, the team is in relegation', so unfortunately I had to come back, unfortunately,” he said describing surviving after two operations for cancer about 10 years ago. He is still going for cancer treatment.
