One of the greatest naija footballer ever!

On 10 July 1996, Finidi moved to Spain and signed with Real Betis for 1 million pesetas

It’s very unfortunate that money wasn’t so much in football then, unlike now..

How much is that Harland or wetin dem dey call ham again self..

Finidi's younger brother, Iginaware George was killed during an FA Cup match at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba in Ibadan in 1995.

Colonel Chinyere Ike Nwosu, rushed Iginaware George to the hospital and prayed the rosary with him along the way, but Iginaware George died.

That was the final death knell for Naija football. Many adults carry the game for head like family land title. Especially in Africa when we have more pressing concerns. Imagine, bullet on football field. The country ruins everything sweet.

As for Finidi, bad boy winger, movement and crossing was exceptional. Plus, he smart, see how he dey fresh for living in Spain in post-game retirement.

Finidi's younger brother, Iginaware George was killed during an FA Cup match at the Lekan Salami Stadium, Adamasingba in Ibadan in 1995.


Stationery Stores were playing against Rangers in Ibadan. Iginaware played for Rangers. Then there was crowd trouble and violence erupted. Some people claimed that Shooting Stars supporters, who were rivals with Stationery Stores, came to the stadium to fight stores supporters. Others claimed that the violence was started by Stores supporters.

Anyway, there was pandemonium and everybody ran for cover. Gunshots rang out amid the pandemonium and Iginaware lay on the ground bleeding. Some people say that the shots were fired by fans, while others say they were fired by the bodyguards of the military governor who was also at the stadium.

The governor, Colonel Chinyere Ike Nwosu, rushed Iginaware George to the hospital and prayed the rosary with him along the way, but Iginaware George died.

Wow, he died praying the rosary, what a great honour!
