ama rifraf. we need these two in nigeria
Fans & players must never engage in physical confrontations during or even after the match no matter the situation,it just paints a bad picture on the sport! We should learn to co-exist because we need each other
Usually fans have nothing to lose and players have everything to lose. Think before you act.
