Former Super Eagles midfielder, Thompson Oliha, is dead.
Oliha who was born in October 1968 in Benin City, Edo State, Nigeria, died in the early hours of Sunday.
Until his death, Oliha was one of the coaches at the Kwara State Football Academy in Ilorin, Kwara State.
A retired Nigerian midfielder, Oliha played for clubs in Africa and Europe during a career marred by injury.
He played for Bendel Insurance (1985-1987), Iwuanyanwu Nationale (1988-1991), Africa Sports (1992-1993), Maccabi Ironi Ashdod FC (1993-1994) and Antalyaspor (1994-1995).
Oliha becomes the third player to die among the much celebrated Nigeria 1994 squad, joining Uche Okafor and Rashidi Yekini in the great beyond.
