The Nigerian football family has once again lost a great icon in the game. Ex-IICC Shooting Stars player, Rafiu Salami, passed-on at the wee hours of yesterday October 14, Vanguard reports.
Salami who also coached the Ibadan based club had been reportedly sick for some time now and consequently gave up the ghost at his residence in Oluyole, Ibadan.

Perturbed by the passage, one of his children said: “He has been sick for the past two months but the physician advised us to move him back home when his case seemed hopeless. He gave up the ghost moment after getting home this morning.”
However, ex Super Eagles coach and FIFA/CAF Technical Instructor, Adegboye Onigbinde, described the late legend as a complete gentleman who is always committed to any delegated responsibilities.
