Nnamdi Ofoborh back playing football

[Onetruesaxon]

Had no idea he had signed for Swindon.
Thought his playing career was over ?
Another strange one

 

[HRHXI]

Came on as a sub today too.

 

[Davie Weir]

Good to see if he’s fit and healthy.

Was a bit of a weird situation with social media posts and the like towards the end.

 

[jimbear]

Good to see he is playing again.

 

[Crouchy]

That’s class.

No idea he was playing football again.

Must be a pay as you play deal…

(Jokes and awaits Boab’s backlash)

 

[CheltBlue]

I hope it.works out for him. Good luck Nnamdi!

 

[ForzaLaudrup]

Good luck to him

We done the right thing by him and that is what counts

 

[SaulBearenson]

Good luck to the guy.

Hopefully he gets his career back on track.

Great to see

 

[JayDee]

Just signed for Swindon it seems. All the best to him.

[Grin&bearit]

I remember something about his doctors saying he could play but our doctors said it was risky/borderline

 

[Blue Lew]

Good for him! Wish him all the best.

 

[Bluenose Rab]

Bournemouth shoulda paid his wages for all the time he was with us. Came to us with this known heart problem. Never could understand how the transfer was completed.

 

[ronadamus_prime]

Really, really happy for him.

Such a pity, that his time at Rangers was so hellish. I was really excited about him when he arrived. Thought we'd landed another hidden gem.

Wish him all the best at Swindon!

We signed him on a free transfer.


Bournemouth didn't have a gun to our head.

 

[Monster]

We probably didn't want to fork out the insurance. Or didn't want to deal with kick back if he had an event during a game.

100%.

Can you imagine the furore up here about big bad Rangers playing a guy with a known heart condition who has a cardiac arrest during a game? We’d be slaughtered by all and sundry.

Surely that’s our due diligence at the medical?

 

[Blue_Britain]

Good for him. Hopefully he can still forge a career in football.

 

[Davieblue1977]

Good luck to the lad.

Really, really happy for him.

Great post r_p!

Played 33 games the season before we signed him, I’d doubt anybody knew he had a heart problem before it was found.

Quite a bit of revisionism there.

Good luck to the lad, hope he has a successful career.

 

[DonnyBenet]

Great 18 months at Swindon followed by a £12 million move to West Ham and an England call up within 3 years.

 

[TonyAtTheBing]

Good luck to him, good on him.

 

[DerHammer88]

Knowing our luck he'll play 50 games next season and get a move to Arsenal or some such

 

[HMS.Temple.Garden]

signed a permanent deal with Swindon Town today.

Never heard of him

Never heard of him

He played for rangers mate

Nathan Nnamdi Ugochukwu Benjamin Asigboro Ofoborh

Can't believe we released him without making most out of selling shirts with his name on the back.

 

[BR84]

I thought he had major heart issues and that's why we never even seen him doing keepie-ups in the 2 year he was here?

He come on as a sub in their game today

 

[roscof]

The lad with the heart issues ?

 

[Kuznetsov's Curly Hair]

Good luck Nmandi. Hope you can enjoy a long and successful career

 

[Davieblue1977]

The lad with the heart issues ?

Yes

 

[Fergie_6]

Good on him, hope he has a good career.

Wait til you try fit it into an abba song though.

Our medical team are rank, if he had this issue then shouldn't have passed the medical or he didn't have an issue?

What absolute mince. Italy has the stringest medical regarding heart testing, yet Christian Eriksen managed to pass medicals to sign for Ajax, Spurs and Inter before his heart attack.
It is possible to have an undisclosed condition which medicals miss. Oboforh only had a problem during pre season training, and our medical team took the ultra cautious approach to his fitness. As previous poster said, can you imagine the hysteria if we let him play and he had an incident.
Good luck to the boy

 

[BiscuitTin]

All the best to the lad.

 

[stonewall Jackson]

We probably didn't want to fork out the insurance. Or didn't want to deal with kick back if he had an event during a game.

It would have been a decision outwith the football dept. Seems a bit strange seeing his apparent recovery and first team football again.

Good luck to the lad.

If it was a known problem then why wasn’t it picked up?

 

[PerthRanger]

Other than the absolute crassness of this post - he signed for us on a free. The issue was discovered AFTER he signed for us.

 

[Gameboy]

He had three medicals the season before he joined us and not one flagged the issue, he had one in pre season at Bournemouth, Wycombe before joining them and one for signing with us.

We tested him again come the summer and the issue came up, our medical department saved him.

 

[temperance]

The lad with the heart issues ?

Strangely not mentioned in the article.

 

[Burgh-Ger]

All the best to the lad - hope he smashes it down there

£1 a letter

Bisgrove will be spewing at that missed cash in.

 

[Orange County]

Did he not bad mouth the club recently.

I'm still not over Universidad Catolica not paying Seb Rozentals wages the entire time he was at us, never mind this cheek. The audacity.
