FOOTBALL: Moon left out of South African World Cup squad

The South Africa coach Carlos Alberto Parreira also dropped West Ham striker Benni McCarthy from his final 23-man squad for this summer's World Cup.

Last month we reported that Moon was determined to leave a troubled year behind him,

The defender who played for the Bannsiders five years ago, has had a tough year.

He was involved in a road traffic accident in which a woman died.

Charges of culpable homicide were provisionally withdrawn against the South African star last month.
