Re: Forgotten Players In Nigerian Soccer by medikhelp: 11:37pm On Jan 17, 2009 |
Guys thanks for this thread. Let's really go down the memory lane. Pre-pre Westerhoff. I challenge anyone to name the Green Eagles line up that trashed Egypt 4-0 in Lagos in 1977 and the Bendel Insurance line up that destroyed Mighty "Shootin and Rangers" in 1978 Challenge Cup. Hints: 1977 Eagles: Annas Ahmed, Patrick Ekeji, Of course, Africa's best outside right EVER 'Segun Odegbami, Chief Justice Adokiye Amiesimaka, Kelechi Emetiole. Mathematical Odegbami destroyed Egypt on that day. 1978 'Bendel': Joseph Eghareba, Christopher Ogwu, Felix Agbonifo, Left legged and blockbuster Henry Ogboe. Any takers? Post westerfoff fans, log off now!!!! |
