Oh, now I see why he conceded that poor goal, his mind must have been devastated. But he should have seated the match out. I pray God gives him and his family the strength to bear this huge loss. My condolences.

Losing a parent is a pain that’s hard to put into words. 

Stay strong, Stanley. 

May you find strength in the memories and the love your father gave you.

Stay strong champ, probably he won’t be traveling to Morocco with the squad, Time for  Okoye to be at the goal post.
