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'.
He is survived by his wife and four children. May
his soul rest I peace… Amen!
