Of course, who doesn't know Okemiri?

His best years were with Enyimba United though.

He was part of what is unarguably, in my opinion, the greatest Enyimba squad of all time. Those guys made me start following the Nigerian league in those years and that is why I remain an Enyimba supporter till date.

I will never forget the heroics and never-say-die spirit of Vincent Enyeama, Joetex Frimpong, Muri Ogunbiyi(a Beninese), Okemiri, Coach Ikhana, Obinna Nwaneri, Goalkeeper Aiyenugba(Pk shootout expert), Captain Romanus Orjinta, Ezeji Victor, Ajibade Omolade, Tyavkase etc etc.

Golden squad. Legends. Two CAF champions league back-to-back. 2003 and 2004- both wins against North African oppositions in the form of Al Ismaili Sakandry and Etoile.

But the most memorable has to be that grueling final against Ismaili. That game was intense! My dad was on the edge of his seat all through 90'+ of it.

Great memories



Well said. Such a fantastic squad and golden era for Enyinba. I watched that 2nd champions league win at the Abuja stadium that year. I also met Okemiri one time in Abj when he was injured and had to be training with one local team to regain fitness. He was so strong and bigger than appeared on tv

mansakhalifa:


But where is Anumunu these days??

Does he still play?

Many of those guys just disappeared. But I can still place a few of them. The likes of 'kachi Okonkwo, Frimpong, Ogunbiyi, Gks Aiyenugba and Enyeama.

I will never forget that squad.

mansakhalifa:


Yeah.

That's true. Heard a couple of things went wrong with his health and his career too.

Wouldn't want to state them here. But it sure wasn't palatable. And that was how a history-maker went away unheralded.
