Okey Isima, a former Green Eagles defender, passed on on Monday, after a brief illness.
Isima, was a member of the Nigerian team, that won the Nations Cup that was hosted in the country in 1980 and he also played at the Olympics that year.
“It was shocking. I never knew he was ill. The last time we spoke, he sounded healthy and there was no reason to suspect he was sick. This is a great loss to Nigerian football,” his former team mate, Christian Chukwu said.
