Rashidi Yekini would have turned 50 years old, this week on October 23, 2013.
Nigerians aren’t the only ones who’ve noticed…
FIFA President Sepp Blatter also paid tribute to the great Super Eagles striker. ‘Rasheed Yekini would have been 50 today. His name as scorer of Nigeria’s 1st World Cup finals goal, lives on ‘, Blatter wrote on his official Twitter page as he posted the very famous photo of Yekini celebrating Nigeria’s very first goal in group stage match played against Bulgaria at the USA ’94 finals.
Yekni died on May 4, 2012 after battling an illness.
Did NFF really remember?
