6toolz: TheLordIsGr8: shumuel: Simpler times ooo. When life wasn't as complicated as it is now. I remember how we used to troop to the house of any of our neighbours with TV just to watch match. One memorable day sticks out in particular, can't remember who we played that day but it was Korea-Japan world cup, the match was on a sunday (i missed church that day) when we scored (i think Aghahowa), it felt as if the whole of lagos shouted goal in unison. in fact, like 45 seconds after you could still hear the echo of gooooaaal. It's not like that anymore. 2009 u-17 tourney (coach Yemi Tella (RIP) and his boys) was the last time i showed any serious interest in Nigerian football. All we have now are memories to hold on to. 1 Like 1 Share |

kindredspirit: Lol! You must be a fan of 'UP soooooting' That was the 1995 Cup winners Cup. Among the 1996 Olympics goalies which were Abiodun Baruwa, Emmanuel Babayaro and Dosu Joseph. Baruwa was by far the best. You know what age falsification caused him. Dosu Joseph who was a third choice goalie at Julius Berger now became number one. Age caught up with Baruwa too early. The guy come begin grow Belle and Yansh Omo Ahlaja |

Icon4s: You're right. He was the best amongst the trio of keepers in the Olympic team. In fact, when he kept goal in the away match against Zimbabwe, my respect for his goalkeeping abilities was further cemented. I watched him thwart the Zimbabweans countless one-on-one goalscoring situations. It was like Voodoo then. The Olympic team would go on to win by a goal to nil and the Zim FA proceeded to file a complaint about Baruwa's age to CAF. I think it took the influence of Mr Amos Adamu as a CAF Top Dog that Nigeria wasn't disqualified because Omo Alhaja was CLEARLY over age. Nigeria barely managed to counter the Zimbabwe appeal and the NFA silently eased Baruwa out of the Olympic team thereby handing Emmanuel Babayaro the first choice position. It wasn't due to lack of quality on the part of Baruwa because he was a SUPERB goalkeeper. But age caught up to him real fast though. He grew a bigger derriere and belly in a short time. 1 Like |

swagdopey: That guy turned Rufia to a child l will never forget his name and Zola (in USA 94). After Zola was given a red card he wept and almost refused to leave the pitch. The moment he left the game changed (abt 3mins extra time)they scored us two goals in 2mins and qualified for the quarter or semi finals can't really remember. O boy did l weep, our boys were hot then after Japan 93 the likes of Babayaro, jay jay, kanu etc..... Peter Rufia was great but my best was the golden boy Joseph dosu. Ike held the fort together in his time too. Vincent and Alloy are Patriotic 1 Like |

doctimi: I believe I know the goalkeeper you are referring to. He was always smiling while in the goal post. I think he was part of the team of 1987 or '91, surely not Saudi '89. |
