WELL-KNOWN NIGERIAN footballer Taribo West is around 12 years older than he’s let on throughout his journeyman career, according to one former club president.
West played for the likes of Inter Milan, AC Milan and Derby County as well featuring at two World Cups for the Super Eagles.
West is supposed to be 39 years old today but ex-Partizan Belgrade chief, Zarko Zecevic, reckons the defender is at least 50.
“He joined us saying he was 28. We only later found out he was 40, but he was still playing well so I don’t regret having him on the team,”’ Zecevic said. Croatian newspapers also claim West later joined Rijeka saying he was 32 when he was actually 44.
Be a bit awkward walking back into that dressing room after those comments
What a lovely fella
What lovely friends he has as well
Oh no he called me the f word :( Delicate little snowflakes get offended over anything these days
Maybe he thought it was still 1984…. He looks like he’s stuck in 1984
Well his haircut does look a little like Eddie Murphy in his cop days
Lol
