Late Nigerian goalkeeper Wilfred Agbonavbare, has been buried in Spain. Among the guests at his funeral, was the Rayo Vallecano president and some active and retired footballers. His children, Wilson and Wintia, flew in from Nigeria to pay their father his last respect. In a related development, Vallecano have immortalised the Agbonavbare, by naming a gate at their stadium after him. The keeper played at the Spanish club from 1990 to 1996.
The report on the club’s website read: “The Board of Directors of the Club has decided unanimously to keep alive the memory of Wilfred and therefore will call the Gate 1 Vallecas Stadium, Gate Wilfred Agbonavbare.
The club managers also thanked everyone who showed love towards Agbonavbare while he battled cancer on behalf of the late goalkeeper’s family. The directors said that they were touched by “the countless signs of affection that have been coming to club on a sad day for everyone.
