Mere, who won back to back league titles with Sundowns, talks about sinking deep into depression in 2011 when he suddenly found himself without a club and no suitors after he was released by the Brazilians.

He also talks about how his performances were seriously affected by his off the field antics of too drinking and how he managed to turn his life around at Swallows and Platinum Stars.

At 37-years-old, Mere is the oldest player in the PSL, and is also the longest serving player in the league, having made his professional debut in 2001 at Hellenic. Still, he has no intention to retire. During his highly successful career spanning more than 20 years, Mere played for Hellenic, Sundowns, Swallows, Platinum Stars, Bidvest Wits and now TS Galaxy and he credits healthy lifestyle for his longevity.
