Me too. When you read his reports in Complete football back in the days you get this feeling that he knows what he is talking about. I was going to my old copies of complet football. I tell you gone are the days men. If I am not mistaken didn't Paul Bassey work for the sports section of the Champions newspaper?

Yep...I first knew of him when he was at Champion newspapers; later I think he had some position in CAF...a media related gig.

Paul Bassey is now a member of FIFA press 'whatever the title is'. Dudu-Orumen is also a FIFA consultant, but I respect Paul more because he's much more objective in his analysis than Dudu

I used to like Dudu back then. I dunno if he's still as objective sha, but sometimes he talks too much.
Paul Bassey has become a little political (less objective) since he got the position at CAF. Maybe he's back to his objective self, I dunno.

The last time I went to Naija, I heard some armed Robbers pulled Larry over in his SUV, they tried to take his car and perhaps shoot him, but when he told them He was Larry, they hailed him and let him go.

He presents Sportsfolio on Saturday and Breakfast Soccer on Mondays.

He rarely misses a Nigerian goal in Europe on Sportsfolio and all the weekend's soccer action are documented fully by 8am on Monday. No true soccer buff misses his shows.

This afternoon we saw Super Eagles in Faro,interviews with Julius Aghahowa,CCC and Christian Chukwu plus a little bit of their training;Etafia was spectacular.We also saw the highlights of Bolton V Villa and a documentary on Mali 2002.Sunday Oliseh gave us some nice dance steps.Sportsfolio is really great,people in Ife,Minna,Lokoja,Auchi,Oshogbo,Ado and some parts of Lagos don't miss it.
