Dele Aiyenugba, the former Super Eagles and Enyimba of Aba goalkeeper, said playing on the same pitch with his son, Daniel, on the opposing team in a match was a dream come true.
He told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Thursday that he was full of joy during the exchange of crests as both captained their respective club sides.
Aiyenugba was in goal for Kwara United FC while his son kept for Beyond Limits Academy of Ogun, during the semifinal match of a preseason tournament in Ikenne on Monday.
He said: “I was very happy and delighted seeing my son in goal as captain for the team playing against mine,’ he said.
The former Enyimba of Aba goalkeeper, who had 17 caps for the national team between 2005 and 2015, spent 13 seasons in Israel with four different teams.
Aiyenugba returned to Nigeria ahead of the 2020-21 season to play for Kwara United and has been a huge success for the Ilorin-based Nigeria Premier Football League (NPFL) side.
