Endurance Idahor

A few lines to honor the memory and potential of Nigeria U-23 striker Endurance Idahor.

A player for one of Sudan's top league clubs - Al-Merreikh Omdurman - collapsed in the 13 minute of the game after colliding with a teammate. He died on the field.

According to a report, young African players often play in the Sudanese championship in hopes of one day going to teams in Europe or the Gulf.

He looked set for greatness - 118 goals in 176 games for his club team. I am truly sorry I will not see him suit up for one of my favourite African teams: Nigeria.
