Moyes vs Nigeria
Profile pic. Should you be interested. Lakhsen, on the right, lost touch with him.
Mohammed, on the left, I'm still in touch with. He's now living in Agadez, Niger. More focused on his animals now as tourism has dried up. Is active with a co-op promoting local goods, leather work and bijouterie, into Europe.

David Moyes insults a whole country?


NFA spokesman Ademola Olajire says the comments have embarrassed the country. <!-- E SF -->

"His statement is insulting to the Nigerian nation and unbecoming of a Premier League manager," Olajire told BBC Sport.

"We don't take kindly to snide remarks about our players, or our nation and we have sent a strongly-worded complaint to the English FA.

like davey would spend 11.25 million pounds on someone who he didn't think was 25
we've had our fair share of dodgy  african footballers  bakayoko reckoned he was 21 turned out to be 31  so you can forgive davey  for his tongue in cheek comment

"What I said was a light-hearted quip after Yakubu had scored a memorable hat-trick against Bergen," he said.

"It was certainly a comment which neither upset nor offended the player himself.

"Does anyone seriously believe that I would have made Yakubu the most expensive player in Everton's history if I had any concerns about his age?
