Before the Super Eagles of Nigeria know today, there were the Green Eagles who played for passion and got peanuts.
They were content because they were not moved by money and they were
not poor.
Even when their lives were at risk, they played still, giving up the ghost in the process.
A photo of the 1988 Green Eagles team in a line up for an Olympic Qualifier surfaced with late Sam Okwaraji amongst them.
In the photo, from left is Ademola Adesina, Sunday Eboigbe, Samuel Okwaraji, Stephen Keshi, Peter Rufai and Coach Yussuf Salami.
