We had an inter-class tournament once and the best winger in our set was playing for one class that had all the best players. I was playing for a class that had useless bookworms. LOL. So I was designated to mark the guy. I marked this guy the whole game, he didnt get one chance! Finally, dude did one shimmy and took me left, abandoned me there and moved to the right. I didnt know how i fell on the floor and saw this guy galloping like antelope past me! I heard screams from the crowd! applause! The girls screaming like someone has seen their pant! Immediately, i stood up-- i wasnt the fastest, but i turned around and chased this guy! Chased him that I even passed my fellow teammates who were chasing him down! I got to him and I dont know how i did it, but I leaped and did an outrageous sliding tackle! I won the ball first and then, did my customary follow through, which waya'ed his knee, to make sure he knows never to try that nonsense he did when he dribbled me! LOL. Not only was it not a penalty, since I cleanly got the ball first. I ended his game right there. Dude had to be substituted! I stood up from that tackle, with the guy on the floor and the whole crowd screaming with amazement "Taribo! Taribo! Taribo!"

I literally used to watch games of Taribo, trying to model my game after him! What a defender!

I also went to a school that had someone nicknamed Taribo but that was because the bobo was ugly.

Are you implying Danfo could be as “handsome” as our Taribo?

Focus on the thread , instead of debating the looks of a man. That sounds very fruity

I watched it live. On that day they had close to a 30min talk before the program started, and the program lasted an hour.

Regarding Henry he was making reference to some issues, hence the cut-in response "did he follow you back to the dressing room".

Nobody questions whether Taribo was a good defender.
In his generation (and the word 'generation' implied) Uche Okechukwu was their best defender.

Dude, you are wrong on this one. Its like saying that Oshimen and Ighalo played in the same generation and that hence Ighalo was a better striker in his generation.
Uche was on his way out, when West came to the scene. Uche was one of the overaged three players allowed to play in ATL 96, Taribo was not. Uche was a great defender
beyond the shadow of a doubt, but West pound for pound has been the best defender that Nigeria has ever produced. Of course, Chairman Chukwu and keshi may have been
better during each of their prime...I just don't know that for a fact.

We have people who have watched CE defenders over the years. While Taribo was one of the best he was not the best.

We are talking about Henry's comment about Taribo and suddenly it is an affirmation about him being better than our other defenders?

Uncle, which CE defenders are you referring to here? the likes of Ayo Akinfe?
