Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how former Super Eagles star and coach Sunday Oliseh stated emphatically that he was shocked when he heard about the death of Argentine football legend Diego Maradona.
Diego Maradona was no doubt a great footballer who was a joy to watch for all fans during his active playing time for clubs and country.
His controversial goal 34 years ago helped Argentina to win the FIFA World Cup beating England in the final of the championship.
And since then, Argentina have been struggling to win the World Cup again with the likes of Lionel Messi and Sergio Aguero not being able to win the title.
Diego Maradona's last professional international game was against the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the 1994 World Cup in the USA in which Argentina won 2-1.
