Garba Lawal, the unsung hero of the Super Eagles for more than 10 years. Solid defensive midfielder with an attacking tendency who could score a typical striker's goal as easily as his bullet long range midfielders goal. A tireless work horse in midfield and a great tackler and marker. Every one who ever visited coached the Eagles during his play days found him very useful. A great utility player.
There's a match Garba Lawal played that we all forget to mention. It was the Atlanta 96 Olympic Semifinal match against Brazil. Till tomorrow, people never noticed that Sunday Oliseh didn't play that particular match. Oliseh got a 2nd yellow card in the Quater final against Mexico and missed the match against Brazil. Garba Lawal covered that space so well. I've always been a fan just because of the fact that he is extremely discipline player
An unsung hero. He made his skill do the talking for him. Ghanaians will never forget this guy for eliminating us from Mali 2002 with his screamer. He was mostly in our quizzes as well. You could spell his surname from back and still got the same result... LAWAL. He is a legend.
The legend Garba lawal❤ I never knew you're this eloquent... You always look calm and focused, Sir. Thanks to the anchors of this great interview 🙌 👏 👍
Very enjoyable interview. Didn't want it to end. I love Garba Lawal and Emmanuel Babayaro. I love Elegbete too. Outstanding, likeable interviewer with a very rich knowledge of the game, including historical facts. Well done all of you!
I so much love this. Old memories. Master class game plans from Jo Bonfer. Lawal was a warrior on the midfield and he played the best with Jo Bonfere and Amodu Shuaibu
Keep doing the beautiful job Bro. You are an inspiration to many of us. I can't believe Garba Lawal is this sound and looking even younger than his playing days
Mr Reliable 🙏🏾, Garba is the ideal pro footballer, anytime he played for Nigeria I was always confidence I remember him scoring against Spain I think, this guy na correct guy discipline tactical awareness superb. That Spain game was the best not fetish game at the World Cup it was a big shock.

I gotta admit as a kid, we enjoyed hating on Garba Lawal but when I look back at it, the man played like a legend for the Super Eagles…thank you sir 👏🏾
@@ATHLST, Secondly i am a passionate Super Eagles Supporter Since Morroc 88 till date, i have Super Eagles archive as regarding, scoreline, squad & few statistics in case you need my help.
@@ATHLST, Kindly Try & Bring Literally All Super Eagles Legends To Your Programme & Let's Hear From Their Vast Experience And Contributions To This Beautiful Round Leather Game. Finally, Bless Up Emmanuel Babayaro & My Oniovoh Edafe ♥️
I think and strongly believe Garba Lawal can be Nigeria's Head Coach given to his high rate of discipline and knowledge of the game. Garba, please, contest or send in your letter now to serve the nation as head coach of Nigeria's Super Eagles team.
What Lawal said at 20:25 was true. His goal against Ghana in AFCON 2006 was scored from a spontaneous shot. He did not trap or cushion it, he simply let go and in it went.
Thank you for your feedback, Sodiq. We are glad you like it. Remember to like, follow and turn on the notification bell to know when the next episode drops.
It's been months ooo. We are waiting for the next. Bring Cele, Okocha etc SE peripheral players like Bolaji Douglas, Taiwo Oloyede etc and also those who didn't make it the super eagles.
Gabra Lawal was only in the teen for so long because of he was one of very few fit left foot players and his ethnicity. Ethnicity because there's something called the ' National Quota ' .
The current super eagles will trash the eagles when Jay was captain. Back the osimhen didn't exist maybe not even Born. Back then them try oh. But the Mikel team also won the nation's cup.
Garba Lawal, Mutiu Adepoju underrated but unsung heroes of the eagles golden generation!
Garba Lawal, Nigerian greatest utility player. He could play any position on the field.
The only Super Eagles player addressed as Mr Garba Lawal.
That says a lot.
My uncles use to call the legendary Garba Lawal the "Old War Horse". God bless you sir.
Nice comment ❤️❤️😭❤️❤️❤️😭❤️❤️❤️❤️

I just like this guy Garba Lawal. He is just so humble. A great agba baller per excellence.

LAWAL WAS THE WEAKNESS THAT DAY. SLOW, ERRATIC TACKLES, MISTIMED PASSES. ORUMA CAME IN TO SHORE UP THE MIDFIELD
He really aged gracefully. Black really don’t crack. Very handsome man. Well done sir. Thank you for all you have done.
I love all all your comment ❤😢❤
One of the best players that ever graced the national team jersey… May God continue to bless Mr Garba Lawal
Garba deserves a national award, if not already conferred!
An unsung hero. He made his skill do the talking for him. Ghanaians will never forget this guy for eliminating us from Mali 2002 with his screamer. He was mostly in our quizzes as well. You could spell his surname from back and still got the same result... LAWAL. He is a legend.
@@fredborteykyeremeh2353 The surname thing! 👏🏼
The fact that they remember details of each match decades later is legendary
I'm just amazed at Garba's ability to remember details, just wao!. He comes across as a guy who is very humble and shuns unnecessary glamour.
The great Garba Lawal of our youths.😂😂❤❤❤❤❤
This man is epitome of discipline, focus and consistency. Love you Mr Garba Lawal❤
Love garuba lawal, he is one of my favourite midfielder
Garba, the utility player, and dedicated super Eagles player. It was great listening to you.

A wonderful story from Chindo
It's been months ooo. We are waiting for the next. Bring Cele, Okocha etc SE peripheral players like Bolaji Douglas, Taiwo Oloyede etc and also those who didn't make it the super eagles.
Garuba Lawal go mark u even if u enter dressing room, u go still dey see him shadow for ur dressing room.
❤
Garuba Lawal was a utility player
Edafe didn't make the eagles team... I wish I saw his videos for club. But you guys are doing great
The only utility player in Nigeria since 1900
Nigeria 🇳🇬 🇳🇬 🇳🇬
Please, who is the host and the man in dreadlocks?
Please who is the guy on dreads?
Gabra Lawal was only in the teen for so long because of he was one of very few fit left foot players and his ethnicity. Ethnicity because there's something called the ' National Quota ' .
Edafe, I take God beg you, can we have Taribo?
We are working on it
Very calm Homosapien. Garba has a funny way he answers some questions 😂
Mr Garba Lawal. What a machine ✔️
Who are the two guys hosting the show, esp. who is the one in a blue blazer?
BABAYARO OF CHELSEA BROTHER IS IN THE BLUE
Where is Dahiru Saidi.
It’s really a shame how some Nigerians tried to blacklist this dude.
Was he a GK or a defender
Garba Lawal was never a defender. He was an attacking midfielder
NA that our WC match against GREECE for Korea Japan.. How Garba take loose hin cool take kick that guy to leave us with 10 men still dey worry me..
Oga you are mistaking Sani Kaita for Garba Lawal. Nigeria did not play Greece in Korea-Japan
na sani kaita and that was .SA 2010
The current super eagles will trash the eagles when Jay was captain. Back the osimhen didn't exist maybe not even Born. Back then them try oh. But the Mikel team also won the nation's cup.
Too much money spoiled everything my friends
