Photo: Super Eagles Legends pose for a beautiful picture as they reunite

The three former Super Eagles goalkeepers, Ike Shorunmu, Peter Rufai, and Joseph Dosu, reunite in a photo.

The Super Eagles legends, who have given all Nigerian football fans a lovely memory of their impressive displays, strike a post in a lovely picture shared on a social media platform.

Even though Dosu’s career was cut short owing to the accident he was engaged in, the three men were among the top African goalkeepers during their active playing days.

In 1967, Shorunmu was born in Lagos. After living in Nigeria for a short while, he traveled to play in Switzerland, where he quickly established himself.

Dosu, who is presently the shooting stars goalkeeper trainer, posted a photo of the Legendary Goalkeepers on his social media page with the caption:

 

“Let me say a big thanks to these legends, they always get my back.”

Then he went on to trigger a question from his Twitter followers:

“Do you know them?” he asked.

Many fans who still recognized the three legends could not hold the joy as they flooded Dosu’s photo with numerous loving comments

One of the fans wrote:

“Goalkeepers union” 💪

Another wrote:

“The Major Generals Of The Goves” 🧤

The former Besiktas goaltender, Shorunmu, appeared in 36 matches for the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
