Emmm...yea! Its not ma Line, but I still gotta put it Up cos Its what I'll like to refer to as A LEGENDARY POST "R.I.P RASHIDI YEKINI"
In other News, FIFA president Sepp Blatter has paid homage to late
former Super Eagles star Rashidi Yekini on what
would have been the goal-scoring machine's 50th
birthday.
Blatter took to his Twitter handle on Wednesday
evening to extol the skill and exploits of the late striker
who netted Nigeria's first-ever goal in a World Cup
match.
The feat was achieved during a group match against
Bulgaria in 1994.
"Rasheed Yekini would have been 50 today
(Wednesday). His name as the scorer of Nigeria's 1st
World Cup finals goal, lives on," Blatter tweeted.
Yekini, who led the Super Eagles attack for many
years, died on May 4, 2012. After scoring the goal
against Bulgaria, he ran into the post, grabbed the net
and shook it. The picture of his celebration is
considered to be one of the iconic images of the
tournament.
