Super Eagles legends recently had a glorious reunion at the Government House in Lokoja when they visited Governor Yahaya Bello of Kogi state who was happy to see the former internationals.

The former Super Eagles stars who visited Governor Yahaya Bello are Austin Okocha, Victor Ikpeba, Tijani Babangida, Ifeanyi Udeze, Taribo West and Augustine Eguavoen.

These Super Eagles legends were great players during their active playing days as the likes of Okocha and Ikpeba need no introduction to football followers considering what they did on the pitch.

Governor Yahaya Bello was in joyous mood to welcome these former internationals and he decided to show them his little football skills.

The 45-year-old who was known as a good footballer during his days in the University jogged the ball in brilliant style in the presence of his visitors.

Okocha, Ikpeba and others were happy with Yahaya Bello's skill and gave him round of applause.

Augustine Owen Eguavoen is a former professional footballer and was most recently manager of Nigeria national under-23 football team and the former manager of the Nigerian national football team.

During his varied days, Eguavoen began his career with ACB Lagos in his native Nigeria and some impressive performances gained him a move to Gent in 1986.

He went on to play for K.V. Kortrijk, CD Ourense, Sacramento Scorpions, Torpedo Moscow and finished his career in Malta with Sliema Wanderers.
