Willy Bazuaye Has Passed On

Nigeria has again suffered another blow following the death of veteran Nigerian coach, Willy Bazuaye, who passed away today Monday 16th, March 2015 at the University of Benin Teaching Hospital in Benin City.

It was reported that Bazuaye, who won the World Cup with the Golden Eaglets in China in 1985, was suffering from stroke.
