kjhova: Lol. That could be CJ at oju ore in ota. all roads led to that place on matchdays back then. was still in primary school at the time, but I remember an uncle always taking me there. I remember struggling for the discipline to sip a bottle of coke through 90 mins. Memories! |

naptu2: Abiodun Baruwa a.k.a Omo Alhaja. He was always chasing Ike Shorunmu from his days at stores to shooting stars and to the national team. I always watched him jog pass my street then to adamasingba stadium and i knew he was above 23 when he represented us at the Olympics. He would have been a disaster at the goal post if he was chosen as the number one goalie at France 98 world cup tournament. |

Abiodun Baruwa made a beautiful point blank save from Casiraghi in the second half. Pierluigi Casiraghi was one of my favourite players when he was at Lazio (and with the Italian national team). He was a deadly striker. Then he moved to Chelsea and got injured soon afterwards and that was the end. In fact, at a point I even forgot that he was still on Chelsea's books. What a sad way to end a career. 1 Like |

chesterlee: But he was certainly good enough to be noticed and even considered to be in an African All stars team. so it was nice representation at least in that match. |

funmo: U can't be too sure with the score line, it's football anything can happen. meanwhile replace Echejiele with another LB from the just ended Afcon. He is not the Best LB in Nigeria not to talk of Africa... so the Score line don't come into fruition |

Gotaya: Yes, but not in that match. These are the other Nigerian teams that played in the final before 1996 (from memory. Forgive me if I forget to mention any team). Shooting Stars won the African Cup Winners Cup in 1976, played against Zamalek in the final of the Champions Cup in 1984 (Odegbami was injured, but if I remember correctly, Yekini played in that final) and beat Nakivubo Villa 3-0 in the final of the 1993 CAF Cup. Rangers International won the 1977 African Cup Winners Cup. Stationery Stores lost to Union Douala in the final of the 1981 African Cup Winners Cup. My dad led the government delegation to Algeria as Iwuanyanwu Nationale lost in the final of the 1988 African Champions Cup. BCC Lions of Gboko (coached by Amodu Shuaibu) won the 1990 African Cup Winners Cup (aka Mandela Cup). (A Nigerian team also won the 1993 WAFU Cup, but I can't remember which team) |

Jarus:Nope. I don't think so, I know so because I was older than you then. So, I'm still older than you. I watched the football match and loved every minute of it. That was when African football was mighty. |

thinkative: Yes, it was CJ's and I'm glad to sprout memories for you, man. We must have been over a hundred folks in the pub that day stumping for 3SC. How I would that Nigerians today will stump for a Nigerian club again. Somehow, we seem to be waiting for them to be as rich as Chelsea or Real before we accord them due regards. |

kjhova: its quite sad. our league fell asleep at the same time the premier league started to boom in Nigeria. despite that, people still showed lots of interest when enyimba and Julius berger went on continental cup runs in the early 2000s however, the league couldn't leverage on it. at some point, we didn't even have a professional league. there have been improvements recently. but I'm afraid, the European leagues have done too much damage to local consumption. I long for the feeling I had at CJ watching the boys in Nigeria 99. sam okoye. gbenga okunowo. julius aghahowa, tijani babangida. Gabriel melkam. Pius ikedia. Joseph yobo. eddy dombraye. Sunday afolabi. I loved that team! |
