Former NEPA of Lagos star, Victor Ighedosa, has chronicled the struggles of African footballers pursuing careers in Europe in a new book titled ‘MARCUS, An African Boy’s European Dream’, launched in Lagos.
The launch attracted club owner, Adewale Teluwo, who led an array of dignitaries including former Technical Director of the Nigeria Football Federation, Ambassador Fanny Amun; former Lagos FA chairman, Waidi Akanni; current Lagos FA chairman, Hameed Liamid; and several former internationals.
Ighedosa, who was the first Nigerian professional footballer to play in the Qatari Football League, said the book was dedicated to the memory of his late brother, Marcus, and to young African footballers who could not fulfil their European dream.
“This book is a blend of fiction and non-fiction, inspired by real experiences, real struggles and the realities that many young African footballers encounter in pursuit of their dreams,” he said.
