Former Super Eagles coach, Augustine Eguavoen, has suggested that the late former Super Eagles goalkeeper, Peter Rufai, should be immortalised.
According to Eguavoen, Rufai, who had been unwell before his passing, was an icon of Nigerian football.
Rufai died on Thursday after a prolonged illness.
Speaking on Channels Television on Friday, Eguavoen, who was once a teammate of Rufai, said: “I was driving, I was on the highway back from the office to the house when the news came.
“He should be immortalised, Dodo is an icon. A stadium or statue should be erected somewhere, it won’t be too much.
“From the information we got, he was quite ill and if he spoke out and needed N100 million, I don’t think Nigerians would be silent.
“One or two persons would raise that money. It’s quite unfortunate what happened has happened.”;
