In the 1970s, a typical game between Rangers and IICC was always a delight. What were your experiences playing against the Oluyole Warriors? It was very tough against Canon of Cameroon. We won the first leg 4-1 in Enugu. On the day of the return leg fixture, there was downpour and the match was postponed. I think we came back and went back the next day. There was one guy, may his soul rest in peace, Chris Nwachukwu Onyekwere, who came from the academy and was popularly known as ‘Igariga.’ He was in that game and helped us win the match in Cameroon, as well as the cup there.
