Daddyrich,

You mixed up the nicknames of the players you mentioned here. Ajibade Babalade was called Kunde and not barbed wire. Collins Ebitimi from Stationery Stores owned that nickname...

I don't know what Sunday Eboigbe nickname was but he wasn't
10-10 Bright Omokaro was after that vicious tackle he made in Maroc'88 against Algeria..

Cheii players don come and go ohh kaii...

"1010" is Bright Omokaro and not Sunday Eboigbe whose nickname is "Sunday new benin"

'Chief Justice' Adokiye Amiesiamaka, who went on to become the Attorney General and Commisioner of Justice in Rivers state.

I kind of like 'Agbako' though.

QuickSilver - (Silvanus Okpalla) .
Gentle Giant (Uche Okechukwu) - Is he really gentle ?
Mature - (Kingsley Onye) - Injury did not allow him to mature fully
Anobi Yisa(pronounced Esaaw by debajo die hards) - Yisa Alabi, a classic example of how fan power can turn an average player into a superstar.

Ajibade's nickname is KUNDE not Barbwire , compare Ajibade and the real Emammuel Kunde you will see why he is names. Those guys have iroko trees for legs.

Uwe Seeler - Andrew Uwe
The Bull - Amokachi, cant think of any better name .

Chairman - CCC, this guy was truly a chairman in his playing days, he was the Tony Adams of Rangers and SE combined. He oozes leadership all over.

Flying cat - Peter Fregene , yet to see a goalkeeper who can dive or should change this word since it has been badly abused by certain liverpool (Diouf) and Bolton (Campo) players, to fly.

Dodo Mayana - Dont get me wrong there is a guy parading himself around this forum as Dodo, he is a fake Dodo, the real Dodo Mayana is Peter Rufai.

The Boss - well who else bossed the SE the way Stephen Keshi did, forget all those ones after him , they only tried to live up to the real boss himself

I will rest my case i belive there are some more names

So Oloye, if someone calls himself Shaq here does that mean he is Shaquille O'Neal or does it mean that Eagle Winged has wings of an eagle. I have never said i was peter, sometimes i do jest, write like i am him but its all for fun

Agbonivbare became Agbonibasket after he conceded 5 goals against...wait for it ...Togo after the Green Eagles had led 2-0. I think it was during an ECOWAS tour(not sure) in 1983 or thereabout. But he redeemed himself with some sterling performances during the 1994 WCQ most especially CIV in Lagos.

Other names:

Eguavoen--Ogun Efon

Chidi Nwanu---Chidi Waranwaran
