Or was it just his weight? From the Independent today:

‘The best new chant of the World Cup concerns West Ham’s Benni McCarthy, South Africa’s star player who has been controversially left out the squad because he is – to put it bluntly – just too fat.

A sometime musician, McCarthy had a hit with Shibobo (which translates as the football term for a nutmeg) with the band TKZee, the key lyric of which was “Benni’s in the area”, a play on his goalscoring prowess. Having seen him in their national team’s new tight-fitting jersey that has been changed by the South African fans to “Benni’s in the cafeteria”.’

Either way, Benni was our biggest January signing at a time when our season was desperately lacking goals and quality. What a joker.
