It was not a total ‘good bye’ for Nigerian midfielder, John Ogu yesterday as he scored against his own club, Hapoel Beer Sheeva during his last game.
Ogu played the entire 90 minutes for the former Israeli Champions as they suffered a 4-0 defeat to Maccabi Tel. Aviv.
The Super Eagles midfielder, netted an own goal in the 23rd minute of the game.
However, that was enough to overshadow the love and affections shown to him by the Club fans and management.
Ogu was honored by the fans for his 5 years of service and dedication after making 203 appearances and scored 17 goals.
He also won three Israeli Premier League titles, two Israeli Super Cup and Toto Cup.
The midfielder next destination is yet unknown, but he has revealed he would like to test himself in Spain or England.
