Late Ojebode
We're starting the day with some sad news being reported by NFC. It says seventies Nigerian football star and one time captain of the Shooting Stars Solom Ojebode has died after a long battle with lung cancer. He died yesterday Wednesday at the University Teaching Hospital, Ibadan, Oyo State. Ojebode was captain of the Shooting Stars between 1974 and 1980 playing with contemporaries likes the Okalas when they brought the African Cup Winners trophy to Nigeria for the first time in 1976. He later played left full back for the Green Eagles and the re-named Super Eagles.
