rted in Kaduna with National Bank. I was working at the bank and also playing; that was in 1989. But I left them for Julius Berger in 1991. I remember there was a particular competition that was hosted in Kaduna, I guess it was the Challenge Cup, I can’t remember. Many clubs were around: ACB, Plateau United, Mobil Pegasus, Berger, Shooting Stars; those were the calibre of clubs that came for the tournament.
It’s good that you remembered this and brought it up. I was a left-sided midfielder and I wore the No.10 jersey at National Bank and Berger. But when you come into a team with talents, this type of controversy will definitely come up. It was only few people with football knowledge that actually appreciated my role. I wasn’t bothered because I had the coach’s trust, so I only played and proved it wasn’t an accident or pure luck wearing the national team jersey.
You are bringing back wonderful memories, I must confess. That match against Spain was quite interesting; we were the underdogs, no doubt, if one looked at the array of stars the Spanish team had then. Fernando Hierro, Raul Gonzalez, Luis Enrique, just to mention three, showed how strong they were, but this is football, we knew our strength and played to it.
