Club career

Nicknamed Baggio, Nauseb was born in Otjiwarongo and played a large part of his career for South African giants Kaizer Chiefs. He started playing football for local side Black Marroko Chiefs before joining capital club Civics from Orlando Pirates Windhoek. He then left Civics for a lengthy spell in South Africa.[1]

International career

He was part of the Namibian 1998 African Nations Cup team,[2] who finished bottom in group C in the first round of competition, thus failing to secure qualification for the quarter-finals.[3] He made his debut for the Brave Warriors in a June 1997 World Cup qualification match against Liberia and totalled 6 goals in 59 games for them.[4]
