The hard tackling retired defender was part of the Super Eagles squad to the 1992 Africa Cup of Nations in Senegal where the national team won the bronze.

Though he is fondly remembered for his exploits at Shooting Stars, Babalade played for a few other teams both locally and internationally.


He started his professional career at Stationery Stores of Lagos but went on to play for Ivoirian side, African Sports, Anyang LG Cheetahs (Korea), SK Sturm Graz (Austria) and Indian club Mohun Bagan AC.

He was also a former manager of the Shooting Stars.

NFF: "we're shocked to announce his demise"..
But if he'd asked for money to foot his hospital bills you wouldn't have helped..
Till today you're still owing so many players their due wages..
Keep on with this,you all will meet your Waterloo..
Murderers..

shocked at this present dispensation and disposition of this world death is good. life is not enjoyable anymore. too much stress and too many demonic zombies unleashed in the universe wreaking havoc. to escape this madness is not altogether bad. to be absent in the flesh is to be present with GOD although you can be absent in the flesh while still being physically alive but its hard, you cant even go to alaba to buy electronics without some demonic son of esau thinking he is entitled to scam you SIGH
