TUNJI BANJO WAS THE FIRST FOREIGN-BORN PLAYER TO REPRESENT NIGERIA

Tunji BANJO is a pioneering figure in Nigerian football, as he was the first foreign-born player to represent Nigeria.

He was born in Kensington, London, and played schoolboy football for Brent, Middlesex, and London Schools before joining Leyton Orient as an apprentice in 1977.

BANJO was eligible to play for Nigeria through his father, and he took this option, making his international debut in a Espana 1982 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Tunisia in Lagos in 1980 at just 20 years old for the then Green Eagles. He would go on to win a total of seven caps for Nigeria.

CAVAN SULLIVAN BREAKS FREDDY ADU'S YOUNGEST MLS PLAYER RECORD

Philadelphia Union prodigy Cavan SULLIVAN, who recently signed the largest homegrown deal in Major League Soccer (MLS) history, became the youngest player to appear in an MLS match as the Union ended a 10-game winless streak with a 5-1 win over New England Revolution on Wednesday night.

SULLIVAN at 14 years and 293 days, came on in the 85th minute, topping Freddy ADU'S record by 13 days. Adu had set the mark at 14 years, 306 days when he debuted for D.C. United in 2004.

The teenager also became the youngest North American player in the top flight of a team sport.

SULLIVAN's contract includes a clause that will see him move to Premier League powerhouse Manchester City at age 18.

His 20-year-old brother Quinn was one of Union's goal-scorers in that match at the Subaru Park.

After Sullivan broke his record, Adu posted on social media: "Big congrats to Cavan SULLIVAN for his record breaking debut today. That's a hard record to break and the kid did it. Well done and good luck my man."
