It was shown though most times I went to watch matches at the stadium live but radio commentary was what we used in following up as highlights of already played matches were shown on NTA.

Agh! I'm shocked! Just seeing this! Agh!

His soul rest in peace.

But what happened?

I may not know him but RIP

Rest in peace to him, and condolences to his family!

Ronaldo I know, Messi I know, but who is Mfon Bassey.

Just having fun, Mfon Bassey was a household name in the football circles back in the days.

I pray that God would console every member of his family and grant them the opportunity to impact others through their trade and vocation just as Mfon did.

Rest in Peace, Mfon Bassey

RIP to the legend. How old was he?

Brief illness?

Even when things were not as good as today, NTA shows highlight of the goals during the news before Newsline.

What a sad loss to the family.
Rest on Sir.
We shall All die one day.

I got to know Mfom Bassey when he played for Stationery Stores circa 1991-92.

Contact your father if you don't have fact before you quote me.

I knew him personally. Ah, this life. I used to watch him play at Ogbe Stadium back then, he was such a great attacker. Those who didn’t see him then wouldn’t know how good he was. May his soul rest in peace.

Thread for Legends.

Even as a semi-OG... This one pass my power.

RIP Mfon!

He was a prolific striker yet never received a call to play for the National team.
When will options be given to our home based players?

At least the ones who stands out amongst them should given the opportunity to play alongside the foreign based players.

An efficient mix of home based and foreign based can be achieved.

May the Soul of Mfon Bassey rest in peace.
