South African players take dab craze to new heights

Two Free State Stars players dish out Dabs while in possession v Platinum Stars

The Dab permeated football some time last year, after it was popularized by NFL star and Carolina Panthers quarterback Cam Newton.

The likes of Paul Pogba, Romelu Lukaku and Jesse Lingard are all regular exponents of the Dab, but the showy move isn’t really seen as cool anymore.

Maybe if someone actually did it mid-game, rather than just as a celebration, then the dab could find a new lease of life…

Well that’s what happened in South Africa today, where a showboating football culture known as Piano and Shoeshine reigns supreme.
