SUPER EAGLES LEGENDS MOURN PETER RUFAI
The football world is in shock as tributes pour in for Peter Rufai, the legendary Super Eagles goalkeeper who passed away at 61.
Peter Rufai’s former teammates and football officials are remembering him as a true icon and mentor. Mutiu Adepoju called Rufai’s passing a “painful loss,” recalling his leadership and unity in the team. Samson Siasia, still stunned by the news, shared memories of their time together at the 1994 World Cup, while Sani Toro, former NFA Secretary-General, also expressed deep condolences.
Why it matters:
Rufai wasn’t just a great goalkeeper—he was a respected senior, a teacher of team spirit, and a symbol of Nigerian football pride. His death is a reminder to value our sports heroes while they’re still with us.
