Teslim Balogun

Former Super Eagles coach chief Adegboye Onigbinde has insisted that the late Teslim ‘Thunder’ Balogun remains the best footballer ever produced by Nigeria. Onigbinde said as much as the Balogun family today remembers the late soccer legend who died 48 years ago at the age of 45. Balogun was the first Nigerian to play professional football in England, signing for Peterborough in 1949 and also had stints with Queens Park Rangers where he played 13 times and scored three goals in 1956. Two-time Chief Coach of the Super Eagles, Chief Adegboye Onigbinde, has described the late Teslim ‘Thunder’ Balogun, as the best footballer ever produced by Nigeria. Today, 30th July, marks the 48th year anniversary of the death of Balogun who died in his sleep in 1972. pic.twitter.com/bSF1vIW74n —...
