you're right sagu 11 was the best  in half-die during that time. I played for young starlight against them at KG V in a match that ended in a 1-1 draw.  There were some outstanding players such as alagie Cole (goalkeeper), foe-fulladu, pochi, abdoulie jack(Razi), 'bladder' sibi, Vo etc.  It was a back pas from Razi to cole which I pounced upon and slotted home much to the chagrin of the half-die supporters, which was manifested by stone throwing.

Soldier Town's most ubiquitous character was 'Abioudou' and not to mention the incorrigible 'Iblis'.  Those were the days.

Thanks

Manju.
