Super Eagles and Rivers United defender Emeka Atuloma says his pursuit of a career in football was inspired by Eagles 2013 AFCON winning Captain Joseph Yobo.
Atuloma who has earned 5 international caps told brila.netthat watching Yobo on television, as a youngster in Port Harcourt made him aspire to reach the highest levels and represent Nigeria, a dream he has since achieved.
Recently, the duo shared the pitch in a novelty match and the Rivers United defender said it was “a huge honor” to have played alongside an inspirational figure.
