Diogo Jota RIP

Not to detract from the recent tragedy or from the death of young hockey/baseball athletes...but,

I want to offer condolences to all Nigerian and international fans of Peter "Dodo Mayana" Rufai, who passed on Thursday at age 61. Rufai was an outstanding GK for the Super Eagles and several pro teams in Europe back in the 1990s. I believe he was awarded as top 'keeper at BOTH the 1994 and 1998 World Cup tournaments; he also led Nigeria to the 1994 AFCON title.
"Dodo Mayana" was the son of a tribal king in Nigeria but declined to succeed his dad to pursue a football career! This guy was a STUD between the posts.
RIP Rufai...

 

any news on the actual accident itself? like what happened? speeding? head on collision?

Raul Jimenez celebrates his goal in the Gold Cup Final with a Diogo Jota kit and does his video game celebration. The 2 were teammates at Wolves.

The most pathetic thing to come out of this is the tribute videos involving Andre Silva, that show images and clips of Sociedads Andre Silva
