Watch: “I still have it”- Ex-Super Falcons star shows ball joggling ability in heels

Retired Super Falcons midfielder Martha Tarhemba has shared a video of herself joggling a ball while wearing heels, Soccernet.ng reports.

Tarhemba made her name playing for the Super Falcons in the late 90s. She was part of the Super Falcons squad that won the 1998 African Women’s Championship (now Women’s Africa Cup of Nations) with Ismaila Mabo in charge. That team won the title, scoring 18 goals and conceding none. The 46-year-old also featured in the 2000 Summer Olympics in Australia.

Tarhemba did not have a long career with the Super Falcons though. But she featured prominently for Nigerian female side Pelican Stars.

She retired in the early 2000s, and from what Soccernet.ng gathers, she is currently living in the United States of America. Still Tarhemba has still managed to give back to the society, with the former Super Falcons star organizing a football competition in Benue State two years ago.

In a new development, Tarhemba has shared a video, which has gone viral. She recorded herself joggling a football wearing heels. While doing it, she also asserted that she still had her foot all skills intact.

Tarhemba had a pretty fulfilling career, as she attended all the possible competitions for Nigeria. Aside from the Women’s Nations Cup and the Olympics, she was also part of the 1999 World Cup squad.
