Bartholomew Ogbeche

Post by The Eagle »

So I see this news story about Barto Ogbeche transferring from Kerala Blasters to Mumbai City FC, both in the Indian League .... some eighteen years after featuring for the Eagles at the 2002 World Cup. Of course I have to look for video highlights. I couldn't find any from his new club Mumbai (they probably haven't started the season), but here are some clips of Ogbeche in action for Kerala in the recently concluded season.

So, the league seems to have 11 teams, with a 20-match regular season, during which Ogbeche played 16, scored 15, with 1 assist, albeit as his team's designated penalty taker. Should we cap him before India does .... or Kenya convinces him to naturalize? :)

Some said he was an age cheat when he played for SE at the WC but here we 18rs later he's still a pro player in great shape. He literally looks the same as he did back then and just as quick. Very happy for him that he's still making a living as a player. He must have the longest active streak ever of all Nigerians players, can't think of a Nigerian that lasted 18yrs as a footballer.

This guy played for SE 3yrs before Mikel's 2005 wc and I think 4yrs same time Vince went to the wc. He's still playing!

Back then, Ogbeche was a good one. He played with Oga (JJ) in the same club, I forgot the name of the club, though.

Think back to all the names and personalities from eighteen years ago .... from Mali'02 and Jap-Kor'02. So much has happened, it seems like so long ago. I enjoyed watching the clip of Ogbeche, still fit, still active, enjoying his football and earning cash. More power to him. I feel he could be making rupees for another four or five years.

I think someone here on the CE stated back then that he knew him from secondary school....if that was to be believed, then Bart should be mid 40's by now.

Playing in the low level Indian league at age "36" doesn't prove he used his real age. I don't know whether he did. I do feel like he was rushed into the SE. Agali and Yak in my opinion were more ready for the world cup, but were unfairly pushed out of the 2002 squad.

I think the guy was claiming he was closer to 40s then so he should be in his 50s now :wink: :woot:

Good stuff though, bobo was always underrated, I remember I found clips from his PSG days and was like wow he actually was a baller.

where does that put him in terms of age? ~ 40? Where does that place his age as at the 2002 WC? ~ 22?
