WARRIORS number keeper Tatenda Mukuruva has expressed gratitude towards the gesture shown by the legendary Japhet “Short Cat” Mpratusa who recently bought training kit for the Dynamos goal minder.

Mparutsa, the first goalkeeper to win the Soccer Star of the Year in 1982, sourced a training kit for Mukuruva late last month, in a bid to motivate the star keeper ahead of the 2017 Afcon finals.

And Mukuruva, in a Face book post early Thursday, thanked the legendary former Warriors keeper.

“A moment of GRATITUDE makes a difference in your attitude!! If you don't show APPRECIATION to those who deserve it they'll learn to stop doing the things you appreciate.

“APPRECIATION CAN MAKE A DAY EVEN CHANGE A LIFE. Your willingness to put into words is all that is necessary!!! Make it a habit to always tell people "THANK YOU".”

“ALWAYS SHOW APPRECIATION. WHAT IS TAKEN FOR GRANTED WILL EVENTUALLY BE TAKEN AWAY... THEN YOU END UP MISSING MOST WHAT YOU LEAST APPRECIATED!!!!”

“ I appreciate greatly for the gift that you gave me Mdaraa Japhet "Short Cat" Mparutsa. May God add more and more blessings in your life. GOD BLESS YOU!!,” Mukuruva posted.
