Elderson Echiejile Playing Football As Teenager (Throwback Photo) by robosky02(m): 5:27pm On Jul 24, 2017
Super Eagles defender Elderson Echiejile has revisited his teenage days by sharing a photo of him playing football.

Long before he had his big break, Echiejile was playing football on the streets of Benin City where he started his career with Bendel Insurance.

The left-back revisited the old days sharing a collage of photos of him training with his new club Sivasspor and a throwback picture of him playing football as a teenager.

In the throwback photo, a young Echiejile is wearing an old Real Madrid jersey.

“It's not that difficult you see, To be all that you can be; For the true secret to success, Is simply this... ALWAYS do your best - Danielle Pierre,” the Super Eagles defender wrote.

Since leaving Benin, the 29-year-old has played for the likes of Rennes, Braga, Monaco, Standard Liège and Sporting Gijón.

The left-back recently joined Turkish club Sivasspor on a loan deal until the end of the season

Only if my dad allowed me to focus on my football skills when I was a teen. Only God knows how much I will be earning by now.

That Nigga keeps telling me to focus on my education. undecided

No excuses.

Your dad was right;
The reason your education hasn't paid off yet is because of your bad grades.


Education is key!

Wow,hardwork pays.

Fifa has cleared Ola Aina to play for Nigeria. Chelsea has loaned the Nigerian to play for Hull city.He is comfortable playing at left back.
Sit up young man.

may be he was right to do so you can't tell for sure.I know many good footballers roaming the streets and always wearing one dirty jersey saying they hope to travel abroad one day yet they couldn't feed for the time being.one thing am sure about is that not everybody makes it in their chosen profession even in education itself.
keep working hard on the one you are into
