Alloysius ''blockbuster'' Atuegbu Is Dead! by obiem(m): 10:09am On May 26, 2008
It's really a bad week for Nigeria, first it wuz the 45 soldiers and a captain who had just returned from darfur safetly making their way to their barracks( which i incidentally happen to have served in as a youth corper in the secondary school there), then comes foremost Nigerian musician popularly known as the ozzidi king, Evangelist Sonny Okosun who passed away in an american hospital having suffered from colon cancer, then the only blockbuster Nigeria has ever known Alloysius Atuegbu, a member of thge 1980 nations cup winning team and current coach of league side Nasarawa United. I didn't watch Atuegbu play, but the way my dad used to talk about him has made me to believe that really he was out of this world. According to my dad '' no current super eagle player has what he had ie his terrific shot, maybe Oliseh to some extent and Taiwo, but truly he was out of this world Being an ardent rangers fan, one cuoldnt help but love the combination of play between Christian Chukwu, Christian Madu, Okey Isima, Ifeanyi Onyedika and blockbuster himself Alloy Atuegbu''.
Those were my dad's words, some of those names ring a bell,while some don't, but the former green eagle and nasarawa united coach will sorely be missed. R.I.P cry cry cry cry cry

Before there was Amokachi and Aiyegbeni, There was Alloy Atuegbu. Played with likes of Chukwu, Odegbami, Owolabi,Usiyen, Adokie, Odiye, Muda Lawal. And so goes the list of that era. May ur soul RIP, thanks for contributing to the growth of soccer in Nigeria.
