Sangalow - was actually a brazillian famed for kicking bicycle kicks.

Otolorin - there use to be a player at IICC Ibadan, the man can throw. If he throws the ball from any part of the pitch, the ball would land in the other opponents penalty box, thereby making it easy for his team to score a goal.

Mathematical Odegbami - Yinka Craig(of blessed memory was famous for using this term) and also fabio olanipekun

Carpet Shot - that is a shot which is probably about 2 or 3 inches off the ground and a very difficult one for keepers to catch.

Police Ball - is when amateurs play football that is all they do is just whacking the ball all over the place. a famous one was someone hitting the ball out of the stadium.

Awon Sere - means easy opponents or prey.

Hope you guyz haven't forgotten the songs we sing when we win a tournament. Let me remind you
"Ki la gba fun won, soccer...
Ki la lo fun who, System....
Owo melo la fin'jeba 5 kondo".

When you are taller than the required height, you'll be told - o ti j'egi.

Just remembered how mum used to flog me........

We call it OC.

"Solo, solo": Pass to me quickly. I'm unmarked.

"Over stone": when we used to play "monkey post" (slippers or stones used as the goal post) and the ball passes over the post instead of in-between the two. This is not counted as a goal.
