Picture: See what Siasia looked like 30 years ago

Sisia 85So much has been said about the age of ex-Nigerian international footballer, Samson Siasia. The former Super Eagles coach and his wife, Eunice, recently celebrated their 30th anniversary. That should not have been a big deal if not that Siasia is officially 47 years old.

Many have been left wondering if the man who took the Flying Eagles to the finals of both the Under-20 World Cup and the U-20 African Youth Championship in 2005 actually got married at the age of 17. We do not have the answer to that riddle but we have a picture of what he looked like circa 1985 while he was a player with Flash Flamingoes (now known as Bendel United) Football Club.

The picture shows him and then Flamingoes teammate, Etim Esin, sandwich a lady.

Over to those who are experts at telling people’s age by looking at their faces if the man on the right in the picture above was 17 round about when the picture was taken.
