We had a guy , who played for Nigeria around the same time then signed for us a few months later whose name escapes me , he was in the Weekender here going on about how Nwankwo Kanu gave him advice

that makes no sense, it said he made his debut against Nigeria.Quote:
Onoriode Omagufi (left) in London for his international debut against Nigeria.
Joined the Welsh in january according to that, from Mallow
He got his game because JJ Okocha had to leave to catch a flight?? Why couldn't they have played someone else? Anyone know anything more about this story? I wonder if I booked Ian Harte a flight back to Spain during our next game could I.....no it'd never work, Stan would see right through it :D
Juan Sara Played with shels didnt he?
We had a nigerian who played in the 2000 olympic games. And he also played in the German second division at some stage I think. James Igwilo
Definitely didn't play in the LOI for Shels
That Nigerian story is hilarious! Was the lad actually playing with Cobh u21s when he was called up?! :eek:
I'm sure soccerc will remember a Zairian (?) international playing with St Francis, I think his name was Amir Zola.
From what I remember Galway United's only "exotic" players have come from Barbados. After Lavine, Watson and Lucas we signed their captain Llewellyn Riley, he arrived about 3 months late, played 60 minutes in the ****ing rain in Cork and never played again!
A Brazilian was playing with Dungannon last season called Everaldo, scored against Pat's in the Setanta but a penalty against Linfield in the cup final shoot-out.
Are you sure he played in the Olympics?
I can't find him listed in the squad anywhere (inc here- http://www.sportscheduler.co.sz/olympics2000.htm)
I saw Nigeria play at these Olympics (in fact I was in the tunnel pre-match for their game Vs Australia. Don'tcha just love accreditation mixups!) and I didn't recall this guy at all. A quick google suggests only your commenst and Kildare FCs Wikipedia entry list him as having played at the Olympics.
No sign of Igwilo here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footbal...7s_team_squads
was it not igloo?
Nigerian international Dominic Iorfa played with the Blues for a while. I think he's chairman of some club in Nigeria now
Jaysus! Gus di Lella is Argentinian - How could I forget him!!
