Before that game against Angola, Okwaraji scored the lone goal for Nigeria in her 99 - 1 demolition by India.

I remember the match vividly, although I was still a teenager at the time. We experienced some unconventional and surreal football tactics from the Indians. I am writing a book on this and it would be available on Kindle, very soon.

Rest on well, Samuel "The Crocodile" Okwaraji


Is this thing even real
Not sure FIFA has any record of this

He is one among few whose death shook the whole nation.

I hope the whole nation feel my departure when my time come as well. Oh Allaah help me.

I know, merely mentioning 'Allaah' would cause some people migraine. Live and let others live

Blessed memory. The referee should've given him a red card instead,may be he wouldn't have died at the time. God knows best.

The legend about this footballer has helped write his name in history.

When we were kids, we were told great tales of how he helped rescue Nigeria by scoring a winning goal. I can't vividly remember but legend described of how the football turned into a stone, others said lion head or head of palm tree.

you are a lad if you were only told about his story
