toprealman:Like no other. He sees life as fun. Nothing gets him serious. Loved the eagles so much he travelled with them to Atlanta. When he returned he had lost his voice. He couldn't speak for weeks. He don shout die. During all those match adverts if them show one fat man with big belly its 90% probability that its my dad. I get to school the next day to hey I saw your dad. Never seen a fan so attached than my dad. Maybe because he was related to Best Ogedegbe |

naptu2: There was sentiments on the side of the Zambians, who had lost their team to an ill-fated air crash and had to rebuild another team for the tournament. They had a lot of help from the Brits, John Fashanu helped them to recruit the coach. 1 Like 1 Share |

This was the return leg in Johannesburg. Complete Football's reporter reported that all the South Africans he met kept asking him about Ricky (Richard Owubokiri) and they were relieved when they heard that he was not in the team. They felt that he was Nigeria's danger man. I was wondering if they had never heard of Yekini. Stephen Keshi later told a BBC reporter that he thought that he would die during this game. The match was played at the FNB Stadium at a high altitude and the Eagles did not have any altitude training before the game. Keshi said that he had difficulty breathing and he kept remembering what happened to Samuel Okwaraji. The feed that I watched at the time was a joint production between the NTA and the SABC and Akinloye Oyebanji of the NTA was the summariser, while a South African was the commentator. Yekini scored a goal in this game and I still cannot understand why it was disallowed. Maybe you can explain it to me. The South African media reacted as if they had won the game, even though it was a draw. South Africa 0-0 Nigeria. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-O5iZer8Ifo 1 Like |

naptu2: All true. Let me add one more game to that list Oct 1993 Algeria v Nigeria - final qualifying game for USA94 world cup That was the highest tension I have ever experienced in any game. The final 10 mins with the game at 1 - 1 and the Algerians attacking us non stop like their lives depended on the game. Those 10 mins felt like 10 hours. If they had scored and beaten us 2-1 we would have been eliminated and there would have been no famous Class of 94 to talk about now. I remember watching as a 13 yr old kid as Westerhof was frantically screaming at the referee that we had played the full 90mins and to blow the final whistle. The man was jumping and screaming, begging! In the end we qualified for our first ever world cup, there was not a dry eye on the pitch remember keshi crying tears of joy and emotions in his interview. History is made of moments like those. 3 Likes |

naptu2: I can't remember and I still don't understand how Rikky (Richard Owubokiri) got excluded from the team subsequently. |

mapet: It was the same issue with Jonathan Akpoborire in 1998. I felt that Owubokiri should have gone to USA 94 and Akpiborire should have gone to France 98, but many Nigerians claimed that their style of play did not suit the Super Eagles (meanwhile they were banging in goals at their clubsides). |

naptu2: Spam bot banned me from posting since yesterday so I couldn't contribute to this. Three (3) remarkable things for me about this match: 1. Oliseh the master passer It was the first time I was seeing Sunday Oliseh play. one thing that struck me within a few touches of the ball he had was his tailored passes particularly to Yekini. I knew right away that he would be a gem in the team. Those passes later became characteristic of him for years to follow. His partnership with Yekini was wonderful until some years later when rumours started flying around that Yekini was deliberately being starved of passes because he was taking too much of the glory for the success of the team. I choose yo believe this was no more than rumours. 2. Okocha, the free kick specialist. This match also gave me the conviction that we had discovered a free kick specialist in JJ. Of course, he became known for that annoying habit of smiling after ballooning the ball to "ojuelegba." 3. Yekini's tight angle goal This goal was phenomenal. The only other times I recall seeing such were the final hat trick goal Kanu scored against Chelsea in the 1998-99 season when he was with Arsenal, Marco Van Basten's Euro '88 stunner, Roberto Carlos' goals for Madrid against Sporting in '98 and against France in '97, one by Maicon at the 2010 World Cup and another scored by another Brazilian (I think it was Serginho at Espana '82). 1 Share
