Father of former Super Eagles goalkeeper Dele Aiyenugba has exclusively revealed to Legit.ng that he had issues with his wife years back over the football career of their legendary son.
Dele Aiyenugba who currently plays for Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) side Kwara United is no doubt one of the best goalies in the country considering his achievements and records.
Before he left the Nigerian topflight in 2007, Dele Aiyenugba was in great form at Enyimba as he won four League titles and two CAF Champions League with the Aba based club.
And before the start of the 2021 Nigerian Professional Football League season, Dele Aiyenugba made a return to the country and joined Kwara United.
Since joining the Harmony Boys, Dele Aiyenugba has been impressive for the club as they are currently topping the League table after 19 games this season.
On Sunday, April 4, Dele Aiyenugba's father stormed the Kwara state stadium to watch his son against visiting Nasarawa United in NPFL match-day 19.
Baba Aiyenugba was spotted together with Dele's son Daniel who is also a goalkeeper and was recently named the best goalie at the 2021 Ramat Cup in Kano.
Kwara United beat Nasarawa United 2-0 in the match, and Dele Aiyenugba's father was in emotional mood after the match while speaking about his son.
''Years back when I saw that my son had football talent, I used to take him to the field myself even though it was not easy because I had many issues with his mother.
''His mother never wanted him to play football and this many times caused problems between me and her.
''It got the a level that Dele Aiyenugba would have to go and train from the farm and I will wait for him so that I can take him home because his mother won't allow him to go from the house.
''Today, I thank God that my son made it in football and his records with Enyimba and other clubs are there for everyone to see.''
