Wilson Oruma and other top stars after retiring from football
Many of the fans also remember how Wilson Oruma’s pass from just after the halleway line to Victor Ikpeba erroneously landed on the back of the then Monaco forward’s back, rather than on his path. Twenty seven years after that triumph, a lot has happened to Oruma, one of the heroes of that historical triumph.
After a club career in Europe, where he played for the likes of french Ligue 1 sides Lens, Marseille, Sochaux, Guingamp, as well as a stint at Swiss side Servette, winning the UEFA Intertoto Cup, Ligue 1 and French Cup, and earning pay to sustain himself and family after life away from football, Oruma’s calculation didn’t go according to plan after he retired from the game.
According to reports, Oruma invested his entire fortune into the business plan, before he realised he was defrauded.
