I decided to switch channels after watching the Shanghai masters series final between Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal and was surprised to see a black keeper in goal for Deportivo La Coruna in a La Liga game against Eibar..
I checked google to unravel the name and nationality of the keeper and behold he is a Nigerian...
Former Nigeria U-17 goalkeeper Francis Odinaka Uzoho joined Deportivo La Coruna in January this year.
The 18 year old was a member of the Nigeria U-17 team of 2013 that won the World Youth Championship in the UAE , but didn’t get to play as Dele Alampasu who won the best goalkeeper of the tournament was the first choice.
Uzoho must get a call-up now….Nigeria needs a new rising star, after all, Ikechukwu Ezenwa is almost close to 30 years
