The Chairman of Lagos State Football Association, Olawale Liameed, on Sunday expressed sadness over tthe demise of iconic footballer, Christian Chukwu.

Liameed told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) that it was a tragic development for the entire football family in Nigeria and beyond.

Liameed said that while alive, Chukwu was exemplary and a role model to several generations of Nigerian players.

“He was known for his robust style of play and commanding presence on and off the field, Chukwu, also fondly called ‘Oyim’, by close friends.

“He notably captained the Green Eagles to victory in 1980 African Cup of Nations hosted by Nigeria, which was the first of Nigeria’s three continental titles.

“Late Chukwu, was iconic in all ramifications. He was truly the ‘Chairman’, of Nigerian footballer. Like many Nigerians, I also grew up adoring this great Nigerian,”Liameed said.

He added that the late footballer was a great leader who played key role in many of Nigeria’s football achievements .

“On behalf of the board members of Lagos FA, the stakeholders and the entire football community in the state, I commiserate with the NFF President, Alhaji Ibrahim Gusau.

“The leadership of the National Sports Commission, and of course, the family and friends of the deceased.

“However, we take solace in the fact that the Chukwu lived a great life marked by compassion, kindness and humility, dedicated to the unity, peace and development of Nigeria, through football.

“We pray that God in His infinite mercies grant him eternal rest and also give his family, friends and associates, the fortitude and strength to bear this great loss,”he said.(NAN)
