SPORTS HISTORY I started as a footballer(striker )at Critale Hope FC till I was successfully courted by Railway FC secretary to the corporation ( Barrister Ogunlesi) after all means by Leventis UTD( Iddo warriors) to woo me failed. I later was converted to a goalkeeper to take over from our then number one ( Lati Gomez ) and my reserve was Eyo Essien ( former Nigeria Number 1). This was during the era of JOE ERICO of PWD, PAUL HAMILTON OF ECN AND OLAYUMBO Brothers of old reliables(Railway Fc). After a head injury, I pulled out for football and started athletics, where I excelled in 400m beating the famous ABIODUN Lajide at the Liberty Stadium during the All Line Games. I dominated for some years till I left sports to further my Engineering profession in t the UK. I returned back to Nigeria and then decided to go into table tennis and lawn tennis as my leisure sport till in 2004 I got introduced to golf - my life changed.
