The late Nigerian prolific striker, Rashidi
Yekini, was on Saturday eulogised by his team mates and football fans as he was
buried, saying he would be remembered for his great contributions to football.
Mutiu Adepoju, a former team mate and Manager of 3SC of Ibadan, said Yekini would be remembered for so many good things, especially for his football exploits.
``Yekini is the one and only great man and player who has done Nigeria proud on many occasions when he was playing. I wish him eternal rest,’’ he said.
Adepoju added that he saw Yekini three weeks
ago without any sign of illness or fatigue.
``I saw him about three weeks ago and he didn't look sick, though we didn’t see at close distance but he looked healthy,’’ Adepoju said.
