Nigerian football legend, Segun Odegbami, has solicited financial assistance for ailing ex-Nigerian goalkeeper, Peter Fregene.
Fregene is a former goalkeeper of the Nigeria national football team, with a career spanning over two decades.
In a statement on Tuesday, Odegbami disclosed that Fregene is hospitalised in Sapele, Delta state, and urgently needs medical attention and financial assistance.
The 72-year-old former striker said his colleague is “waiting for help to be moved by ambulance” to the Ohara Teaching Hospital.
He said although “Tony Ojesina covered the ambulance costs, more funds need to be paid before he can be moved” to the teaching hospital.
Odegbami also lamented what he described as “the lack of a functional welfare scheme for retired athletes” in Nigeria.
