Daddy Junior. RIP

Those are the time we cherished our local teams. RIP

Akwa Ibom bawo?

That's RamonI Oba of St Finbarrs!,,,

May your beautiful soul rest in peace. The Lagos state commissioner recognised your worth and the state attempted to give you our best care but it wasn't to be. If they had flown you abroad you probably would have survived but may be return a vegetable. In any event many of our misguided fellow citizens (idiots more like) have gone over there simply to die (Ojukwu and Ekwueme). It was simply your time to go........sun re bro!

Break Up, they won't let you. Improve the living condition of ordinary Nigerians, lie lie. Thunder fire the devils

RIP my brother

R.I.P Goalkeeper Raymond King of Abiola Babes.

I remember in 1986 at the filled-to-rafters National Stadium, Surulere. Reliable defender, Toyin Ayinla of Abiola Babes, under pressure from Uwem Ekarika of Leventis United, attempted a loooooong back pass to Raymond King. However, Toyin Ayinla somehow contrived to lob the ball over the head of Raymond King, who had left his line, to score an own-goal in favour Leventis United of Ibadan during the FA CUP final.

Late Chief M.K.O Abiola, owner of Abiola Babes FC, sitting at the V.I.P State box was at the stadium that day. He put his two hands on his head and screamed "YEEEEPARIPAAAAA!!!" at that incident. LMAO!

Abiola Babes were highly favoured to win that match and they battled to no avail for an equaliser until the final blast of the whistle. Toyin Ayinla and Raymond King both wept like a babies after that match.


Nigerian football was so interesting then.

Wow. I remember that, and also when Ogbein Fawole's backhead pass to out-rushing Raymond King beat the goalkeeper, with the ball landing coolly at the back of the net, in the presence of over 80,000 spectators. The occasion; Final of the CAF Champions cup match against Zamalek. It was a defeat that sent the famous Odegbami into retirement

Grandpa spotted.

At times you guys used to comment blindly. Have you for once informed Akwa Ibom State Governor about the guy's deteriorating health and the governor declined to assist ? Have you confirmed from the family members if they have approached the governor through liaison officer in Lagos ? You must get your fact before commenting

Listen and learn. Thanks for you guys explaining our own football scene. Great to hear of a time when we elevated our own talent.

RIP. He was a great keeper with some acrobatics. I will never forget that lob over his head by Ogbein Fawole

You were there true true

Always had a smile on his face. What a sad loss.

Raymond king - Ramoni Oba
You singlehandedly won the Oyo State Principal Cup for us. With you in our team Methodist High School Ibadan was unbeatable. We became beatable only when you graduated.
I remember so many victories you helped us attain most notably beating Baptist High School Iwo right there in Iwo, Ibadan Grammar School at Wesley Teacher Training College and even Prospects High School Abanla at Liberty Stadium and so many more victories.
You always had a smile on your face which inspired us to fight on when the battle seemed lost. Your confidence was an influenza that inflicted all of us.
Thank you Raymond King. Raymond king thank you. We who you brought so much joy to our youthful days will always remember you. Rest in peace.
