OLD TIME MEMORIES

Blast from the past - a rare picture!

Paul Okoku (remember him?), Nigeria’s football hero now based in the USA, responded to my public request for any pictures related to my last posting on the Soccer Ambassadors FC, the football club I founded in the evening of my football career.

He responded with the attached picture. This is, indeed, a rare picture. It shows that Wole (my younger brother) and I actually played in opposing teams and against each other.

That must have happened only once (I am not sure), and this match between Leventis United FC and Soccer Ambassador FC was the occasion.

Paul Okoku posted this truly rare and historic picture. Paul is on the extreme left, the legendary midfield ‘wizard’, Mudashiru Lawal is next to him. Wole Odegbami is next to Muda. I am on the right!

Thanks ‘Uche’ for this rarest of pictures!
