Bassey, who had suffered a nerve root compression in his spinal cord following a car accident in 1986, had made a public plea for financial support and later received funding for spinal cord surgery from the Femi Otedola Foundation.

He went on to manage several football clubs in Nigeria, leaving a lasting legacy in the sport.

Bassey’s death brings to nine the number of members from the 1980 AFCON-winning team who have passed away.
