If you think Nigerians especially footballers are the only ones who remembered the late Super Eagles striker, Rashidi Yekini few days ago then you are wrong. The footballer who passed on in May 2012 after a long battle with an undisclosed ailment would have clocked 50 years old on October 23, 2013.

Not a few Nigerians were surprised to read FIFA President, Sepp Blatter's tribute to the iconic sport star two days ago via his official twitter page. He also posted a famous picture of Yekini celebrating a goal during the USA '94 tournament.

He tweeted "Rasheed Yekini would have been 50 today. His name as scorer of Nigeria's 1st World Cup finals goal, lives on".
