How Agbonavbare Died With 13-Year Unfulfilled Wish

                                  Former Nigeria goalkeeper, Wilfred Agbonavbare, died in January unable to realise a 13-year wish,

Former Super Eagles striker, Henry Makinwa’s house in Madrid is just 10 minutes’ walk away from that of fallen ex-Eagles and Rayo Vallecano goalkeeper, Wilfred Agbonavbare.

Agbonavbare lost his battle against cancer on January 27 and was buried in Spain— three years after he lost his wife to breast cancer.

But Makinwa first met Agbonavbare in 1997 as a fresh-faced 20-year-old, who had happily moved from Udoji United to begin his football sojourn abroad with Rayo. It was a sojourn that would see him become football’s journeyman, playing in 10 countries and three continents.
