Sight And Sounds From The Joseph Yobo Testimonial Game (pictures) by robosky02(m): 12:58pm On May 28, 2016 |
Sight and sounds from the Joseph Yobo Testimonial game (Pictures) Joseph Yobo was given a grand exit from professional football by a stellar collection of football stars and legends during his testimonial in Port Harcourt on Friday. Illustrious African stars Samuel Eto’o, Sulley Muntari, Stephen Appiah, Lomana Lualua and Laryea Kingston were joined by former Nigeria players Nwankwo Kanu, Austin Okocha, Mutiu Adepoju, Austin Eguavoen and Ben Iroha to celebrate the 101-cap Yobo. A Team Nigeria composed of current footballers Vincent Enyeama, Ahmed Musa, Emmanuel Emenike, Godfrey Oboabona, Efe Ambrose, Joel Obi was coached by legendary Amodu Shaibu and Samson Siasia. They took on Team World led by Eto’o and coached by former Everton and Manchester United manager David Moyes, who was assisted by former Nigeria youth coach Fanny Amun. However, Chelsea duo of John Terry and John Obi Mikel were missing after it was announced that they were going to be available for the game. Before the game, Yobo was presented with a commemorative trophy and a jersey marked '101' by NFF 2nd Vice President Shehu Dikko, who also played in the game. After a prolonged delay to the start of the game which led to anxiety in the stands and agitated guest of honour Nyesom Wike, governor of Rivers State, Yobo started in defence for Team World as they swiftly fell behind to a brace from Emenike after impressive work by Okocha in midfield. Muntari and Eto’o would score for Team World, the Cameroonian making Enyeama grovel which led to a comic chase of the striker. Eto’o would be involved in the other funny scene when he asked Okocha to be substituted due to the midfielder’s stunning skills which continuously prised open his side. The first half ended 4-3 with Yobo scoring just before the break to keep the scores close. Yobo switched sides at resumption as Kanu, funnyman Ayo Makun (AY) and former goalkeeper Ike Shorunmu all came on. He played two penalties against Dele Ayenugba, missed the first and scored the second to make it 5-3. cc: lalasticlala http://www.goal.com/en-ng/news/4093/nigerian-football/2016/05/27/23989652/okocha-etoo-kanu-moyes-honour-joseph-yobo-in-port-harcourt

“I’m very satisfied with my career,” he continued. “It takes only the grace of God to achieve what Joseph Yobo has done; three Africa Nations Cup and three World Cup appearances says it all. “I don’t know how I made 101 caps for Nigeria, I’m thankful to God.
