John Ogu has earned cult status at Ligat ha’Al side Hapoel Be’er Sheva; if you doubt it the scenes from Saturday’s win over Maccabi Petah Tikva is all the evidence you need.

Ogu, who is a multiple league champion with the Camels, starred in the match as the defending champions gradually get their season back on track.

After the victory, the fans held up the player, with chanting of his name and a quick song in his honor; a gesture he very much appreciated as he bowed to the ovation.

The win was Be’er Sheva’s first this season in 6 matches and the Nigerian midfielder has been putting in the work to help steady the ship after a significant housekeeping in the summer transfer window.
