  • From jumping the fence of local stadiums in order to catch a glimpse of his idol Rashidi Yekini to playing alongside the legend himself, Daniel Amokachi's story is one of courage both on and off the field. His popularity with the fans stemmed from his never-say-die attitude and a style of play that sent shivers down the spine of opponents. Today, for the first time ever, Amokachi sits down to share the intimate details of the injury that completely derailed his promising career in the '90s, forcing him to retire at the prime age of 28 years old.

    This is classic with a touch of excellence. It made me want more from the legendary "AMO 14" da Bull. His style of play was fully patriotic and committed 100%. I am happy his relationship with Yekini was x-rayed and his answer was purely true especially when you hear a man add a touch of local dialect to his speech you should feel his sincerity. What endeared me to him was his stubbornness and now the baba is calmer. Life is really time and season...... thanks for this wonderful new year piece. Standing by for unraveling of more especially my childhood heros Ben Iroha and CELESTINE BABAYARO. Happy new year people.
