But whoever made up the story about him being the only player to score the only goal in our famous 100-1 loss to India deserved a national honor. Almost evry child born in the early 90's believed the story of the Indian keeper turning to lion and their players to Tiger. Okwaraji had to use his power laden left leg to play the eventual shot that Wil give us our only goal and kill him as such.. He sacrificed himself for the country, hence India were banned for life from playing soccer. .. Quite salvage from the story inventor...

No social media but the fallacy spread like wild fire Aswear, here in Kaduna we believed it.

philtex:
The 99-1?

Samuel Okwaraji the Nigerian football Legend

9jakohai:


Thanks for the memories.

Was nine years old at the time, watching the match on television with my dad, brother and little sister (mum thought, and still thinks football is a waste of time ). I recall when he was carried off, and then it just seemed normal.....a footballer gets injured, and carried off the pitch. Even when he was replaced, I thought "oh, too injured to continue the game).

It was a shock to hear the following day that he was dead. I mean, with my then brief experience of football, footballers never died on the pitch. I recall reading about the funeral in the now defunct weekend Concord., and how an autopsy had found he had an " enlarged heart ' ( my introduction to the world of congenital heart disease ).

Really sad then,still sad now.

That story has been circulating for a very long time before Okwaraji died.

One version of the story is that the match took place in the 1950s and Teslim Balogun scored Nigeria's only goal.

There's another equally crazy story that Thunder Balogun stopped playing football because he killed his brother with a terrific shot. The legend states that nobody could stop Teslim Balogun's shot (which was why he could score against the Indians), but his brother made a bet with him that he could stop it.

So the brother was in goal and Thunder Balogun played the ball and it ripped through his brother's stomach and into the goal.

And that's why he stopped playing football.

There's a song we used to sing about Sam Okwaraji and the lyrics goes like this:

Am going home, am going home, am going home, to watch a match.
Between Nigeria and Angola, am going home, to watch a match.
Okwaraji was a player, he came to play for Nigeria.
As he was playing he fell and died, that was the end of Okwaraji,

O-K-W-A-R-A-J-I may God bless you inside your grave!
O-K-W-A-R-A-J-I may God bless you inside your grave!

Nigeria play ball, Nigeria win
Babangida jump up, ten kobo fall
Onyeka pick am buy Akara chop
Babangida cry, cry, nobody talk
Action!

Kingslaw:
so why is India not participating in world tournaments?

logica:
Because they are no good at football. Hockey yes, football, no.

naptu2:


Hockey and cricket. They are cricket mad.

Wait, I know its not true, but I strongly believe there was a match between Nigeria and India that has a bit of that fetishness if not why is India not playing football as such?
