Former Rangers International FC of Enugu and Green Eagles of Nigeria
defender, Okey Isima, is dead. The ex footballer turned engineer died in
Abuja yesterday Monday February 18th after a brief illness. He was 56.
Okey Isima was a
member of the Eagles team that won the 1980 Africa Cup of Nations in Lagos and
also played at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow.
Okey was based in Atlanta Georgia for many years before relocating to
Nigeria a few years ago 'to contribute his quota in bringing back the
lost glory of Nigerian football'.
