Taribo West Accused Of Lying About His Age. by Nobody: 5:36pm On Apr 03, 2013
Taribo West was '40 when he said he was 28', claims former Partizan Belgrade chief






Former Derby County, Plymouth and Inter Milan player Taribo West has been accused of lying about his age.

The retired Nigerian defender who joined Serbian team Partizan Belgrade in 2002 after leaving Derby County told club bosses he was 28.

But now the former president of the Partizan Belgrade, Zarko Zecevic, has accused him of lying, saying the defender was actually 40.








He joined us saying he was 28. We only later found out he was 40, but he was still playing well so I don’t regret having him on the team,' Zecevic said.

But according to Croatian media, the former defender known for his colourful hairstyles also lied when trying to join Croatia’s Rijeka club.

At the age of 44, they said West told club doctors he was only 32.








It was only after an examination that the doctors raised suspicions with the club because West’s knees suggested he was older.

He wasn’t signed to the team but later joined Plymouth and later Iranian side Paykan FC where he ended his career at the age of 46 in 2008.

Today his Wikipedia entry says he is 39.

"It’s absolute nonsense — Taribo

The former Super Eagles defender, Taribo West has described the allegation about his age by a former President of Patizan Belgrade, Zarko Zercevic as rubbish.

In his reaction, the former Nigerian international said about the publication on mail, “That’s nonsense. It’s not relevant.
It’s absolute rubbish.”

The Atlanta ’96 hero said he could not comprehend what the Serbian was talking about as “it does not make any sense.”

Pastor Taribo, you are not oblige to comprehend what the Serb said, but now that you are a pastor, old things would have passed away, and all things becoming new, why not open up on the truth and 'shame' the 'devil', after all, it was all for survival way back then... grin
