The Nigeria Football Supporters Club (NFSC) has described the death of Paul Hamilton, a former Coach of the Super Falcons, as a great loss to the football sector and the sports industry.

Samuel Ikpea, National Chairman, NFSC, told the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) on Friday in Lagos that the sector had lost a remarkable figure that made impart in the sand of the country’s football.

NAN reports that Hamilton, popular known as ‘Wonder Boy’ among the football enthusiasts in his days as a player, died at 75 on Thursday.

He died at the Lagos State University Teaching Hospital, Ikeja, Lagos, during a prolonged illness.

Ikpea expressed shock at the death of the former footballer and coach.

“It’s so sad to hear this sad news again, when we are trying to get over the demise of Stephen Keshi and Amodu Shuibu, who died last year.

“I feel pained because we are losing personalities who stood themselves out and made significant contributions that brought honour to our national teams in international football tournaments.

“Most of our professional players cannot complete the story of their football career without mentioning these powerful stakeholders, but today, they are gone.

“The club is in a sober mood since we got the sad news.

“We identify with fans, whose Hamilton’s death affected in one way or the other, and particularly, his family,” he said.

Ikpea said that a condolence register had been opened at the NFSC Secretariat, Ojuelegba, Lagos, for fans.
