Former Eagles stars including Uche Okechukwu, Austin Eguavoen, Victor Ikpeba and Peter Rufai were among the players who played in a novelty match when the remains of Stephen Keshi were laid in state at the Samuel Ogbemudia stadium in Benin City.
Some of the players, who eulogised the late coach and player, appealed to management of the country’s football to set personal interest aside for the growth of the game.
Ikpeba, who particularly noted that Keshi sacrificed a lot for the growth of football in Nigeria, said crave for personal interest has retarded its growth in the country.
Super Eagles star and Coach Keshi died in Benin on June 8.
