We Saved Sunday Faleye From Going Astray -Jonathan Akpoborie
Former Nigerian forward Jonathan Akpoborie has revealed he helped saved young Super Eagles prospect, Sunday Faleye from “going astray”, in the latter’s formative years.
Akpoborietold Tidesport source that Faleye, who was discovered in an amateur competition, showed potential.
“However, he’s was young and didn’t have the support structure to help him financially,” Akpoborie said.
“A friend of mine who ran a local team helped provide accommodation for the boy; because at the time he was almost going astray.
“His parents were already considering sending him off to work and make money for the family.
“Later, we helped him get a spot in Shooting Stars and today he is in Austria.”
