R.I.P Dodo Mayana, I started following the SE in 1993. The memories of watching you between the goal post would forever be a blessing.

He had lost a lot of weight in this video. He must have been ill. This news is terrible. He was such a nice person.

Liverpool, European Champions 2005.
We watched this very boring video, 500 times, of Sacchi doing defensive drills, using sticks and without the ball, with Maldini, Baresi and Albertini. We used to think before then that if the other players are better, you have to lose. After that we learned anything is possible – you can beat better teams by using tactics." Jurgen Klopp

Top level goalie has, indeed, returned to his maker. May his soul rest in peace.
When I think of Rufai, two things come to mind. His break through at Stationery Stores FC in Lagos at a very young age. He seemed to defy gravity. At the time it was clear that he was headed to the national team.
These conditions thing was his controversial battles with managers which impacted his overall NT appearances. Each time, it looked that he would lose the battle but his skill level always assured a return to the very top.
The faith in his is talent eventually metered out when he returned at the 1998 World Cup.
That Rufai has said good bye after such a remarkable journey highlights grit, perseverance, and fate. The last one being special.
Good bye, great one.

The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in.

Plenty sef.
It was barely a few years ago that we were marveling at how he was still looking so fit and kept goal for Okocha dem in a 5-a-side game Int’l tournament.
Dodomayana rest in peace.
