That is how you people fail WAEC. No one is answering Imeh's question, even if it could have been structured better.

Imeh meant to ask, 'who here watched this live?'. We see them cheering eagerly in the stands. These guys sailed on MV Liverpool and SS Portsmouth from Port-Harcourt and Apapa, making stops in ports like Tema, Freetown and several others. They were sent to the UK on village and town contributions. They travelled from all parts of the UK to support the Super Eagles (Red Devils) and their love for the game is still going as they are still on here discussing football matters over 6 decades later, even if some are more active in the R&R forum. Some have remained in the UK and others are now in North America.

Well, I am only allowed to start answering the question. Others can take over from here.
