  • His memory is solid, remembered dates, names etc, impressive.

  • Mr. heroiceagles:

    really thank you for updating this. appreciate it a lot. I'm his son presently living in Japan now. Just came across your interview on search.

    He's my hero & most respected soccer player. I was born in 1976 the year Nigeria withdrew from Montreal Olympic, but knew how much he suffered with the game.

    NFA owe him & the '73 squad a reward for their effort in the progress of the game in the country. only few people knows that.

    May HIS soul & those of his mates RIP, Amen.

  • great interview......pleeeease can someone find me the congo music of the 2nd all african games?

  • What a hero! Not for money? Very well done to you sir.

    No disrespect to ugbade cos he has a point, but this guy is head and shoulders above him for talking about pride of defending the green colours and not lamenting about not getting paid.

    Your name deserves to be immortalized.

  • I'll never forget how Zum's Ilerika and Ajagun demolished ICY at Onikan Stadium- Principal Cup Final. I'm a Finbarrian by the way- that was one year we let 'em have the cup in the 70's.

  • "heroicEagles" thanks for conducting this interview and posting it.

    HARUNA ILERIKA was the consumate soccer artiste and magician with his deft left foot.

    I am privileged to have watched him perform many times on the soccer field in his prime. May he rest in peace and heartfelt condolences to his family.

  • R.I.P. A HERO GOES AGAIN

  • How I wish to see a video of the match against Guinea Haruna Ilerika talked about. The man is well versed in football, I enjoy this interview every detail was described so vividly that it seems it was just yesterday. Thank you so much for posting this video heroiceagles. Can we see more of him and others of his time?

  • Well said sir? Please do anyone knows the where about of Zion Ogunfeyimi (Goal Keeper)
