Super Eagles’ striker, Osaze Odemwingie, has dedicated his goal against Bosnia-Herzegovina on Saturday night at the ongoing World Cup in Brazil to his new born baby boy.
The superstar, who alongside other members of the Super Eagles celebrated the strike with an imaginary baby in his hands, told reporters at the end of the game in Cuiaba that his son and that of Austin Ejide were bestowed the honour.
His words: “I have dedicated the goal to my new born baby boy, Theo, and that of my teammate, Ejide, whose wife gave birth to a baby girl during our World Cup build up in the United States.
“So, the honour goes to the babies.”
Odemwingie has already joked that his first Noah is pencilled in to play for Stoke in 20 years and now it could be a case of brothers-in-arms if young Theo follows him into Stoke’s line-up in about 2034.
