Segun Odegbami, Nigeria's legendary footballer, has raised the alarm over the deteriorating health condition of his colleague, Peter Fregene.
October 8, 2024 10:17 pmFregene, popularly known as the flying cat or Apo, is a former goalkeeper of the Nigeria national football team. During a career spanning over two decades — from the 1960s to the 1980s — the 77-year-old won the Nigerian FA Cup with both ECN and Stationery Stores.
Odegbami also lamented what he described as “the lack of a functional welfare scheme for retired athletes” in Nigeria. By now, we must have exhausted any remnant of ‘goodwill’ we have with Femi Otedola, Mike Adenuga, Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Babatunde Fashola, Benson Ejindu, Allen Onyema, and a few other Nigerians that often came to the aid of a few lucky sports heroes several times in the past.
