Is that infamous Odiye own goal I used to hear about as a little child? Nice execution

[Polly]

How can I ever forget that moment in time. It stood still...forever.

But no...Odiye bears no historic burden. He was absolutely one of our best, and for this one error, he saved us on countless others, before and after.

My brother.......Odiye wasn't the same player after this 'calamity'.......and just couldn't live it down. He simply faded away and disappeared off to the States.

Till today.......the words of the late Ernest Okonkwo ring in my ear......"Nigeria has scored against Nigeria". As a kid, I remember listening to radio commentary of the match. For some unknown reason, the game wasn't shown live........and when Ernest said "Nigeria has scored"......we all started screaming and jumping......then above the noise being made I heard......."against Nigeria". I shouted that everyone should shut up and listen O. Okonkwo then repeated what he'd said......this time he added teh words "oh no". The silence in the room that day.......would have sliced through iron.

If gazes could kill!!!!


Okala's reaction and the several seconds he won't take his eyes off Odiye said a lot.

and I believe he said during the commentary too that...."Odiye has destroyed the nation"

[Cmoke]

Wrong!

Odiye came back and won our 1980 ANC title.

14 years later, he was specially invited by NFA to the SE world cup camp because NFA still thought he was still our best defender.

I wrote a thread called ODIYE IN CAMP (re WC 94) in our old forum. Somebody passed it on to him and he actually came to CE to contribute to the thread!

African teams were never taken seriously those days. Zairean team did the same thing at a world cup. You should see how the man kicked the ball in the wrong direction. I think it was stage fright back then.

[Lolly]

Oh no...He did an "Odiye"
