Endurance Idahor is not the first Nigerian footballer to die on the field. He may not be the last also, unless we do the right examination of our players.

Remember Sam Okwaraji, who collapsed and died while playing against Angola in a World Cup Qualifier on 12 August 1989?. An autopsy showed that the 24-year-old had an enlarged heart and high blood pressure.

Amir Angwe Of Julius Berger F.C who collapsed and died on the pitch of a heart attack on 29 October 1995.

John Ikoroma collapsed on the pitch and later died in hospital in February 2000. He was just 17 years old.

Orobosan Adun on 26 May 2009 before an away match with Enugu Rangers, Goalkeeper Adun of Warri Wolves FC, was assaulted by thugs suspected to be fans of the opposition team. Slumped and died 3 days later from internal haemorrhage, during a training session.
