There's a match Garba Lawal played that we all forget to mention. It was the Atlanta 96 Olympic Semifinal match against Brazil. Till tomorrow, people never noticed that Sunday Oliseh didn't play that particular match. Oliseh got a 2nd yellow card in the Quater final against Mexico and missed the match against Brazil. Garba Lawal covered that space so well. I've always been a fan just because of the fact that he is extremely discipline player
Garba Lawal, the unsung hero of the Super Eagles for more than 10 years. Solid defensive midfielder with an attacking tendency who could score a typical striker's goal as easily as his bullet long range midfielders goal. A tireless work horse in midfield and a great tackler and marker. Every one who ever visited coached the Eagles during his play days found him very useful. A great utility player.
Very enjoyable interview. Didn't want it to end. I love Garba Lawal and Emmanuel Babayaro. I love Elegbete too. Outstanding, likeable interviewer with a very rich knowledge of the game, including historical facts. Well done all of you!
It's been months ooo. We are waiting for the next. Bring Cele, Okocha etc SE peripheral players like Bolaji Douglas, Taiwo Oloyede etc and also those who didn't make it the super eagles.
Thank you for your feedback, Sodiq. We are glad you like it. Remember to like, follow and turn on the notification bell to know when the next episode drops.
The current super eagles will trash the eagles when Jay was captain. Back the osimhen didn't exist maybe not even Born. Back then them try oh. But the Mikel team also won the nation's cup.
The legend Garba lawal❤ I never knew you're this eloquent... You always look calm and focused, Sir. Thanks to the anchors of this great interview 🙌 👏 👍
Keep doing the beautiful job Bro. You are an inspiration to many of us. I can't believe Garba Lawal is this sound and looking even younger than his playing days
I so much love this. Old memories. Master class game plans from Jo Bonfer. Lawal was a warrior on the midfield and he played the best with Jo Bonfere and Amodu Shuaibu

What Lawal said at 20:25 was true. His goal against Ghana in AFCON 2006 was scored from a spontaneous shot. He did not trap or cushion it, he simply let go and in it went.
An unsung hero. He made his skill do the talking for him. Ghanaians will never forget this guy for eliminating us from Mali 2002 with his screamer. He was mostly in our quizzes as well. You could spell his surname from back and still got the same result... LAWAL. He is a legend.
Mr Reliable 🙏🏾, Garba is the ideal pro footballer, anytime he played for Nigeria I was always confidence I remember him scoring against Spain I think, this guy na correct guy discipline tactical awareness superb. That Spain game was the best not fetish game at the World Cup it was a big shock.
Gabra Lawal was only in the teen for so long because of he was one of very few fit left foot players and his ethnicity. Ethnicity because there's something called the ' National Quota ' .
@@ATHLST, Secondly i am a passionate Super Eagles Supporter Since Morroc 88 till date, i have Super Eagles archive as regarding, scoreline, squad & few statistics in case you need my help.
@@ATHLST, Kindly Try & Bring Literally All Super Eagles Legends To Your Programme & Let's Hear From Their Vast Experience And Contributions To This Beautiful Round Leather Game. Finally, Bless Up Emmanuel Babayaro & My Oniovoh Edafe ♥️
I gotta admit as a kid, we enjoyed hating on Garba Lawal but when I look back at it, the man played like a legend for the Super Eagles…thank you sir 👏🏾
The only Super Eagles player addressed as Mr Garba Lawal.
That says a lot.
Garba Lawal, Mutiu Adepoju underrated but unsung heroes of the eagles golden generation!

LAWAL WAS THE WEAKNESS THAT DAY. SLOW, ERRATIC TACKLES, MISTIMED PASSES. ORUMA CAME IN TO SHORE UP THE MIDFIELD
I'm just amazed at Garba's ability to remember details, just wao!. He comes across as a guy who is very humble and shuns unnecessary glamour.
Garba, the utility player, and dedicated super Eagles player. It was great listening to you.

It’s really a shame how some Nigerians tried to blacklist this dude.
Edafe, I take God beg you, can we have Taribo?
We are working on it
Who are the two guys hosting the show, esp. who is the one in a blue blazer?
BABAYARO OF CHELSEA BROTHER IS IN THE BLUE
The current super eagles will trash the eagles when Jay was captain. Back the osimhen didn't exist maybe not even Born. Back then them try oh. But the Mikel team also won the nation's cup.
I just like this guy Garba Lawal. He is just so humble. A great agba baller per excellence.
Garba Lawal, Nigerian greatest utility player. He could play any position on the field.
The legend Garba lawal❤ I never knew you're this eloquent... You always look calm and focused, Sir. Thanks to the anchors of this great interview 🙌 👏 👍
The fact that they remember details of each match decades later is legendary

Mr Garba Lawal, you give me memories, the left Leg is still stuck in my head, what a player , I love you for the experiences!
Thank you for Letting us to ours Legend again in ❤
Too much money spoiled everything my friends
Honestly, most times we talk about the huge money these players make but we don't see the sacrifices they make.
Well said. Thank you Olatunji

Weldone!!! Brilliant stuff!!! Can Cele be next please? He’s my all time Nigeria favourite player and he’s the reason I’m a Chelsea fan!!!

You need to bring Cele. It will be nice to hear more about him playing 10. And by God's grace, Oruma.
Gotcha, Hapex Consulting. Stay tuned for more episodes. Cele might be next.
Garba deserves a national award, if not already conferred!
An unsung hero. He made his skill do the talking for him. Ghanaians will never forget this guy for eliminating us from Mali 2002 with his screamer. He was mostly in our quizzes as well. You could spell his surname from back and still got the same result... LAWAL. He is a legend.
@@fredborteykyeremeh2353 The surname thing! 👏🏼
This man is epitome of discipline, focus and consistency. Love you Mr Garba Lawal❤
Very calm Homosapien. Garba has a funny way he answers some questions 😂
Hmmm, they have everything but they can't not play football 🤔

You not we..How could u not like him even as a kid?..You must be from a terrible home
@@dennisabdool2427 I’m igbo so we championed Okocha and the obvious ones. We never really saw Garba’s impact till I grew older
@@bigcheech1937 I'm Nigerian and I championed every player donning the national team colour .You see the difference between you and I?
@@dennisabdool2427 Yes I was a kid back then
Tijjani was better than okocha
It's not boxing. its a team game. doesn't matter who you THINK is better.
@@frankanore lol. Jay made more from Nigeria than what Nigeria made from him. Tijjani was always there with his pase and agility.
@@frankanore they're are both great and legendary players.
Mr Garba Lawal. What a machine ✔️
