Says who??
Mutiu Adepoju was undoubtedly the original headmaster.
His aerial prowess extends beyond the shores of the Nigerian league. . . . .He took it to Saudi 89 where he scored a smasher against USA in the semis.
Scoring against Kasey Keller in 1989 is like scoring against 5 Petr Cechs in goal.

Well, its debatable.
Unfortunately, Wakilu couldn't do much internationally, as he didnt play age group competitions and Nigeria didn't make it to the world cup, then
He was restricted to Africa and the local league where he was the pivot in attack for Super Stationery Stores.

Next Question.
Arguably, Nigeria's best goalie, Peter Rufai left the shores of this country in the mid 80s to play for Dragons of Benin Republic.
1) Which local club was his last?_{Hint-The club was based in the Old Oyo state}
2.) What is his nickname?
3.)What year was he first called to Nigeria's national team?

I said Dimeji Lawal was instrumental to 3SC's revival after relegating in 1987.
He brought em back to the Division 1 in 1989.
Read ma comments carefully, Akola. . . . .He wasn't part of the team that relegated but he brought about the revival of 3SC AFTER they RELEGATED.



Akola, don't try me. . . . .

Son,

Anytime you encounter members of the Elders council discussing olden days, just get pen, paper and apoti and learn.

No twisting and messing around.

Has Dimeji ever played for shooting stars? Capital Nooooooo.

Maybe after Abacha died.

Mutiu brought Sutin back to 1st division.


Gbam!!!!!

Dimeji Lawal didnt play for Shooting but his brother (kokoro) did

tkb417:

Dimeji never played for 3SC?? Are you sure of this??
U are talking trash, abeg.
Majority of the Saudi 89 team were plucked in Ibadan. . . . . .As a matter of fact, their camp was based in Ibadan.
Players like Mutiu, Jimoh Balogun and Dimeji Lawal were all 3SC players. . . . . .Tunde Disu recruited most of the Yoruba players from 3S

Now answer ma question before u get me ANGRY!!!

Son, i think i "overknow" everything about virtually all Ibadan born and ibadan reared players.

(Nonsense no 2) Jimoh balogun has never played for shooting stars.


You better go and sleep or Retire from this thread This is getting embarassing

Dr Kit will tell you the history of Jimoh(Tyson-Emil Heskey) Balogun. But if he refuses, i will give you the info.

U know nuthing about Jimoh Balogun, abeg!!!
Just because i mentioned it earlier and you jumped on the issue like you know him from Adam.
I am talking about games i saw, interviews, goals and all the qualifying games in 1989.

You better go and sleep or Retire from this thread This is getting embarassing

Retire ke?? I asked you a 5-min question and you have not replied in 24 hrs.
Nigeria played Portugal in Riyadh. . . . .Who scored for Portugal in that game??
U dunno the answer and you are talking about schooling me in local footie. . . .Akola, go and take a breather.

Dr Kit will tell you the history of Jimoh(Tyson-Emil Heskey) Balogun. But if he refuses, i will give you the information.

Dr. Kit?? Of all people you coulda mentioned??
The same KIT i was schooling about Canada 87 S/final game between Nigeria and Italy??
Razorr is more knowledgeable about Naija footie than Kit.
The Dr started watching footie after MKO Abiola died in Prison.

I can understand your agidi. Remember i am from the same state but i kule when need be.

Liberty stadium was my second home at that time. My friend and I was almost arrested because of jimoh's issue but for Coach Tunde Disu.

Were you still insisting that Dimeji and Jimoh played for 3sc?

Dr Kit will floor you anyday even Bagoma will

Akolawole:

Liberty Stadium?? Are you sure??
As at the time these boys were blossoming for Flying Eagles, Liberty Stadium was not in use. . . .Akola.
All the qualifiers were played in Adamasingba stadium.

Dr Kit will floor you anyday even Bagoma will

Wetin Dr. Kit sabi?? He started watching football in 1998(After Naija lost to Paraguay in a group game).
Bagoma will floor me on Arsenal issues but not football in general.

~Sauron~:

Liberty Stadium?? Are you sure??
As at the time these boys were blossoming for Flying Eagles, Liberty Stadium was not in use. . . .Akola.
All the qualifiers were played in Adamasingba stadium.

As at then, in the complex we have 3 football pitches;

1) The mainbowl which is hardly used for practice session but for matches

2) Another one called the main practice pitch which is just about 5 minutes. and

3) The third one is called arisekola one[ Not owned by Alhaji but somehow named such because the exit leads to Alhaji's old "estate" .

Home team uses the second one while away team make use of the Arisekola one.


N.B : All these info are correct as at 17 years ago[ which was the last time i went to Liberty]


Disu 's boys uses the second one as shooting stars has moved down to Adamasingba.

1) Do you know that they did not just stop using liberty like that?


2) We are not talking about general footie but i knew both of them will school you in naija olden days.



FYI Suprisingly, jimoh Balogun plays for Julius Berger.

Please keep that in your diary

I am saying there was a time Liverty Stadium was not in use for any football match between 88 and 89. . . .
Disu's boys played all their games in Adamasingba stadium.

Its very obvious you knew quite a lot in 80's & 90's more than me

And you got all my questions wrong

@ sauron
Tunde Charity too was in that team?
Di d he play for Shooting Stars also?

its pointless arguing with Chacal that wasnt even born when I watched my 1st World cup

imagine this ignoramus scumtwat arguing about a match that I remember vividly well was played when I had exams the next day and my pops had found out that I wasnt reading nor preparing well . . .took me in , locked me in and I still managed to escape to go and watch the match that evening, IDIOT SAYS THE MATCH WAS PLAYED IN THE WEE HOURS OF THE MORNING

HNIC:

@ sauron

Abi o!

He might even say Christopher Nwosu( poularly called Oyin in Ibadan), an ex-immanuel college student play for shooting too. This is a guy that was raised in ibadan. The parents used to live in U.I area.

Imagine him asking me about Saudi 89. What an insult!

@HNIC & Dr Kit

There is this handsome guy who plays for Stores or Berger.He's from old ondo state. An attacking midfielder. Did you remember his name? i was trying remember him yesterday. He used to do half-patin hairstyle sometimes.

Quote from Jackal_Sharoun in 2006

@ Bolaoni,

Don't know so much about 'em days but i think Leventis United was the toast in those days.
I watched some old tapes and Leventis United FC was like Man Utd.
Uwem Ekarika and Andrew Uwe were too brilliant to be playing in the Nigerian league.
Those players would blame themselves today for being born in the wrong century.
A player of Ekarika's quality would bench Samuel Etoo at Barcelona.

seriously no one needs take Chacal serious . . .

have u forgotten how he used to take YIM lessons from us those early days ?

Dayokanu and TKB would school him perfectly in this . . .  

@Akola

which era are u talking about ?

Ajibade Babalade/Collins Ebitimi of Stores 

or them CHIJIOKE EJIOGU/ Shuaibu Momodu era of Berger 

OR RATHER THE AIYEGBENI OR YEKINI PERIOD IN BERGER

seriously I LOVED STORES AND LEVENTIS TOO MUCH WAY BACK THEN !!!
