Banjo, Tunji I remember Tunji well. We used to hang about in Kilburn London. Tunji played footy for The Oxford and Kilburn Club in the early 70’s as a lad. He was a cracking player back then. I’m sure between us we will know and remember lots of characters from the OK Club.

Banjo, Tunji Is this the young Tunji Banjo I used to teach PE at Aylestone School in Willesden in the early 70's?

Banjo, Tunji I first met Tunji when he came to play for the Nigerian national side alongside his then Leyton Orient team mate namely John Chiedozie. I bunked school to watch him train with the Nigerian national side. I didn't get to see him train, but I shook his hand when he sat in the coach after training. The Nigerian national side were preparing for the second leg of a world cup qualifier for the 1982 World Cup - which they didn't qualify for; no fault of either Tunji or John. Tunji played a good game in the match against Tunisia which - if my memory serves me right - Nigeria won on penalty kicks.


Banjo, Tunji I played with tunji for London Buses during the 80s what a fantastic player and a good guy.


Banjo, Tunji Hi its me - the name is Tunji and I now drive trains and live in Stoke on Trent
