Thompson Usiyan, former Green (Super) Eagles of Nigeria player is dead.
He died at the age of 65 in his Lamest, Redonda Beach home, California, United States.
The death was confirmed in a tribute post by Felix Owolabi, a former teammate.
“Just two weeks ago, we lost Segun Adeleke, also in America, and now it is Usiyan. I pray God will grant his family the fortitude to bear this irreparable loss,” the 66-year ex-international wrote.
“Usiyan was a delight to watch in the attack. One cannot forget his contributions in a hurry. His departure from the US at that time created a big vacuum in the team.”
