Does Toto Tamuz actually have Nigerian roots? . . .Kid looks good playing for Israel.

Dts his business cnt beg him to come and play for us.

@Bolaoni, The One
realy? yekini was part of that team? cant seem to remember his face agains cameroon

Yes oooo

Yekini was there. In the first match against Kenya that we won 3 - 0, he scored one goal. I think the other goals were scored by Ndubuisi Okosieme and either Humphrey Edobor/Okwaraji. I'm not too sure about the last one.

For you info Yekini started playing for Nigeria in 1983/84 and he was at the 1984 nations cup in Cote d'voire.

The guy tay for eagles well well o.

sunday olise

Hes not forgotten though.

Sunday Oliseh will be back in the eagles mix one day in one capacity or the other, we haven't heard the last of him.I firmly believe that.

Abeg no use laf kill me.Do u mean as a coach or wat?I dnt see him coming back as a player anyway.

9ja4eva, the 1960's had i think haruna ilerika - stationary stores who was a school boy at the time he played for Eagles . I stand to be corrected. the late dan Ayam, Kenneth Olayombo. Peter Anieke aka Baby Anieke, There were quite a few Ibo players but remember the civil war caused a disruption in the flow of things.

You are right.The war didnt do us justice.

Muda lawal, oliseh plan him life well

Where Muda Lawal sef?

U no follow am?


I dey yoke

can you guys remember these two great classes of honour.most of them are forgotten now.

Has anyone else noticed that we had some fantastic nicknames for player back in the day:

"Owo Blow", "Mathematician", "Chief Justice", "Minister of Defence", "Chairman" etc

Just goes to show that football back then was purely for enjoyment and not all about the money.

that ok, that what the saying is like. '' MANY ARE CALLED,FEW ARE CHOSEN.

I think for nicknames there are two i really love- I will post the nickname and i want sharp guys to give me the players names:

A player called "ZION TRAIN" hint- he was in the all conquering NNB side of the 80s and the secone one was called "TEN-TEN" also a member of NNB and eagles at Maroc 88. any takers?

ps wat of Duke Udi and Gideon Imagbudu?
