Nigerian football has lost a legend 💔⚽
Former Green Eagles striker, Lawrence Onweazu Okonji, has diẹd at 83.
Okonji, who first donned the national colors in 1963, played for the Green Eagles for a decade, sharing the pitch with icons like Joseph Erico, Peter Anieke, Paul Hamilton, and Sebastian Brodricks.
One of his most unforgettable moments? Scoring the final goal ever at the old Lagos City Stadium (now Mobolaji Johnson Arena) in 1973. A true history maker.
At club level, he represented top sides like Sharks, NEPA Lagos, Port Authority, and Aba Giant K!llers (now Enyimba). After hanging his boots, he gave back to football as a coach with teams like NEPA FC, Guinness FC, and Delta Force.
May his legacy live on. 🕊️
