Lawrence Siphiwe Dambuza Tshabalala (/sɪˈpiːweɪˌtʃæbəˈlɑːlə/; born 25 September 1984) is a South African professional football player who most recently played as a midfielder for AmaZulu.
He is considered to be one of the most well-known and decorated South African soccer players of his generation. He was the first player to make his international debut while still playing in the National First Division. At 90 caps, he is the second most capped player of the South African national team and played at three African Cup of Nations editions and the 2010 FIFA World Cup, at which he scored the first goal on 11 June 2010 which was nominated for the FIFA Puskás Award. Tshabalala, who was recently released by Amazulu FC, is a winger but has played other midfielder roles.
