Whatever happened to Ruben Agboola? who used to play for the Super Eagles in the 90's, some half cast kid who played in the days of Westerhorff
Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by Cyclone5(m): 7:36pm On Mar 15, 2007
Remember James Obiora had a brief tenure in the Super Eagles during the S. Korea/Japan WC but messed up at Spartak Moscow and dropped from view.

My all time hero - Thompson Usiyen! A true playa! I heard he was coaching in the US.

Does anyone remember the Olukanni brothers? Femi and Segun Olukanni. Muri Onigbanjo (scoror)

Cheers guys.

Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by 4Play(m): 2:24am On Mar 16, 2007
Does anyone remember Chikelue Iloenyesi?

His continued invitation the National Team was a source of puzzlement for those who knew him for at the time,he was not playing proffesional football but actually working full time as a car dealer grin

Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by 1forall: 9:35am On Mar 16, 2007
Well I remember Ademola Adeshina

Also Etim Esin

What happened to Precious Monye?

Remember Leotis Boateng? (he mustve been Ghanian but played in the Nigerian league)

There was this midfielder in our Japan 93 team who was known for his hot shots from range, anyone remember his name?
Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by Cyclone5(m): 9:47am On Mar 16, 2007
Whatever happened to Adokie Amesiamaka?
Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by Boller: 11:02am On Mar 16, 2007
Has anybody mentioned Adekola, I can't remember his first name again, i think his name Ademola but the guy I'm talking about is elder brother of Late Ireti Adekola of Yoruba moves and his also a friend to Olumide Harris. And another one is Femi Opabunmi.

Andew Uwe?
Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by twinstaiye(m): 1:03pm On Mar 16, 2007
Have we forgotten so soon, Victor Igbinoba, the guy that scored the last goal that finished the Germans in the 1985 U16 Tournament in China? What about their captain, Nduka Ugbade, saw him on TV about 2 weeks ago, the guy Westerhoff denied the chance of making the record of being the first person to play in all FIFA age group competition by denying him a place in the squad of USA 94 Eagles.
Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by Nobody: 1:14pm On Mar 16, 2007
here is the Godwin Okpara story http://nigeriasports.com/2761

im not sure how long he's going to be in prison

a big shame!
Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by Abdblues(m): 1:18pm On Mar 16, 2007
@1forall: Perhaps you are talking about Karibe Ojigwe
Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by 1forall: 4:47pm On Mar 16, 2007
Yeah thanks abdblues it was Karibe Ojigwe, that guy fired a shot if he had half a chance. Wonder what he's up to now.

Boller I think youre referring to Adeolu Adekola smiley he played for Leventis or Shooting?

Cyclone Adokiye na old man o, he was sport commissioner in rivers state at a time.
Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by Cyclone5(m): 8:10pm On Mar 16, 2007
1forall:

Cyclone Adokiye na old man o, he was sport commissioner in rivers state at a time.

I know but he had the sweetest left wing dribble of anyone in the world ever.
Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by ireke(m): 11:15pm On Mar 16, 2007
Abeg, make somebody mention Samson Ozogula.
Nduka Ugbade and Bela Momoh of the Golden eaglets 1985
Agboni basket (agbonivbare)
Patrick and Emannuel Okala ( I think Emannuel is late now)
Raymond King.
Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by sema(f): 12:09am On Mar 17, 2007
This is from a beautiful new face, Nobody is forgotten, they say out of sight is out of mind. We naigers like good things a lot, but it does not matter if Eto'o comes from Naiger or Cameroon what truly mater's is that He is an African and that makes me even more proud.
Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by sema(f): 12:16am On Mar 17, 2007
Ireke, those names sounds, kind of, oldschools, dont really mean it
