Joke aside,he maybe using football age,but none of his set in football is up to 60 or very close to 60 as you said.
I hope you know his mates in football?
Don't tell it's Okocha,Finidi George,Sampson Siassia,Amokachi or Equavon.Because they are not his mate.Yes,he may have played with some of them in the Olympic and AFCON but that doesn't make him their mates in football.
Check if Wilson Oruma is celebrating 60 years now or even by next year.
Or if Celestine Babayaro is doing the same,then I will believe you.
but fr sure dude will b 52 53 of sure

Peter Rufai mentioned his real age when he was about going to the other side. R.I.P legend Rufai.

Birthday is right but football age is fixed.

casualobserver:
Everybody knows footballers in those times all understated their ages. Many of them weren’t discovered until their twenties by which time the only way their could get a contract was to understate their age.

If you disclosed your real age foreign clubs wouldn’t sign you because you would have a low/lower resale value.

Kanu isn’t 60 but he isn’t 49 either.
You are stating the fact.
That's the true situation
