Is this a joke or you're being sarcastic?

Robbybabs,

As old as you are, you cannot accurately give an account of CE fables?

A damned shame if you ask me.

Kumbur was the taxi driver that drove Amodu from the Airport and was recognized as the former Sootin' player, and was promptly called to camp after JayJay got lost on the drive to camp.

Hey you was Ononoriode, or someone similarly named.

I cannot verify the authenticity of any of the information above, but we have read it on the forum over the decades.

Spot on...

The original “Hey You” was a certain Onoriode dude, reportedly a one-time U20 FE invitee and friend of Yobo, who came around to the SE hotel in London (actually the second hotel, after they were kicked out of the first for non-payment of deposit) to visit with Yobo and the guys before the friendly against Venezuela, only to be asked to suit up when it looked as if the team will not be able to have 11 outfield players (Yakubu having dropped out after arriving at the team hotel). Ultimately, we were able to cobble together 11 players (albeit the right-footed CB Joseph Enakharire had to play at LB) to start the game, but when Jay Jay had to leave at halftime for Malaga for the Bolton camp as pre-agreed (even Yobo was only supposed to play one half only - as pre-agreed with David Moses and Everton - but ended up playing all 90 minutes), Onoriode, who had been the ONLY outfield substitute on the SE bench for the entire first-half (a half-fit Ogbonna Kanu arrived at about half-time and suited up for the 2H but sat out), was compelled to make an entry - and promptly stunk up the joint (which did not stop him from proudly going around the stands at full-time acknowledging the crowd - perhaps he confused the boos for cheers ).

After all that mess (the players were only given vending machine sandwiches as a pre-match meal, did not have appropriate warmup gear and we CEs had to buy dinner for some of the players after the game), the SE still WON!

No, in Lagos...

Kumbur was among the 42 players (including a couple of other other ‘older’ fringe Eagles like Edith Agoye and Haruna Doda) for Chukwu’s first SE friendlies against Jamaica and Egypt in Lagos. He was so bad that he was hurled off after the first 30 minutes of the first game (2 different squads of 21 each was used to prosecute each game) never to be seen again - and became folklore thereafter. Pretty much the same fate also awaited then CE rave-of-the-moment Peter Ijeh after one of those games.

PS: Undertaker’s version was the fictitious product of the ethnic demagogue Ade Ojeikere, who so despised Chukwu’s SE appointment that he claimed at about the same time that Chukwu substituted Femi Opabumni in the 80-something minute of the game against Angola because Femi did not speak Ibo. SMDH

We have been through it all.
