**Tributes Pour in for 1980 AFCON Winner Henry Nwosu** The football world in Nigeria is mourning the loss of a legend, Henry Nwosu, a former Super Eagles midfielder who was part of the historic 1980 Africa Cup of Nations-winning team. The 62-year-old football star passed away on Saturday at a Lagos hospital. President Bola Tinubu has joined millions of Nigerians in expressing deep sorrow over Nwosu's death. In a condolence message, the President described Nwosu as one of the most talented players to ever represent Nigeria. He recalled the midfielder's brilliance at just 17 years old, when he was part of the Green Eagles squad that won Nigeria's first Africa Cup of Nations title in 1980. Tinubu noted that Nwosu's skill, creativity, and passion for the game left a lasting impact on Nigerian football. The President said that Nwosu's technical ability dazzled fans, and his legacy would endure in the annals of Nigerian football. The Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) and the National Sports Commission (NSC) have also joined in mourning the loss of the football legend. The NFF described Nwosu as a legend whose contributions to the game would never be forgotten. Nwosu's death comes at a time when the football community is still grieving the loss of former NFF Technical Director and ex-Super Eagles coach Adegboye Onigbinde. The loss of two football legends in a short period is a painful reminder of the impact that these individuals had on the game. Nwosu's legacy extends beyond his playing career. He inspired a generation of young players who followed in his footsteps. His contributions to Nigerian football will be remembered for years to come. As Nigerians mourn the loss of Henry Nwosu, the President has prayed for the repose of his soul and asked God to comfort his family, friends, and the wider football fraternity.
