While watching the Liverpool v. Inter game on Tuesday with a friend, he reminisced about what could have been if he took to playing football rather than study for a university degree. During that conversation the idea of him still considering the football option came up, all he needed to do was shave off a decade from his actual 28 years of age.
Everton Football Club's manager, David Moyes has now voiced what many have always thought but wouldn't say.
That many Nigerian and African footballers are actually older than they claim to be.
Moyes had this to say about his striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni -
"What people don't appreciate is that he’s only 25, albeit a Nigerian 25, and so if that is his age he’s still got a good few years ahead of him,"
This same allegation has come up before and something tells me it won't go away quietly.
