Femi Opabunmi became blind in the right eye, a condition that mysteriously could not be cured by the best medical practitioners. A 16-year-old Opabunmi finished the 2001 FIFA U-17 World Cup in Trinidad and Tobago as the second highest goalscorer and the third best player of the tournament. The following year at 17, he was part of the Super Eagles to the 2002 FIFA World Cup. He played for a few clubs, including Shooting Stars FC, Grasshoppers Zürich, Hapoel Be'er Sheva and Chamois Niortais in France for like one season when the eye problem started,” he further said. "I woke up one day and I just saw the cloud, I was not seeing well, then i went to see a doctor in France for Porche, the doctor said it was a case of glaucoma. They said my case was complicated that they don’t understand everything. we went from one place to another before i returned to Nigeria and started going from one place to another, Native doctor, anybody". He retired from football in 2006 due to serious glaucoma. These days, Opabunmi resides in Ibadan with his wife and three children at his bungalow, the only property he owns, the only thing remaining after he sold everything. He is now totally blind in the right eye. ©Sport Chronicles
