Former Super Eagles striker, Michael Eneramo, has di£d aged 40.

 

Eneramo was reported to be playing a football match at the Angwan Yelwa pitch in the Television area of Kaduna when he slumped and di£d.

 

He was brought on in the second half of the match and he fell on his own without any contact.

 

“He slumped and di£d right on the spot. Efforts to revive him were unsuccessful,” a source told SCORENigeria.

 

“He was pronounced de@d at the hospital.”

 

 

Eneramo played for various clubs like Besiktas of Turkey, Tunisian champions Esperance as well as Lobi Stars of Makurdi.

 

In 2008, Eneramo considered accepting Tunisian citizenship in order to become eligible to play for the national team of the North African country.

 

He was eventually called up to the Nigeria national team in 2009 and played his first game on 11 February 2009.

 

In his second game with the Super Eagles, Eneramo scored the opening goal against the Republic of Ireland.
