Age edit

The claim that West "broke down in tears as he finally confirmed his real age" is not backed up by the cited article at all. I call BS. Melaena (talk) 11:48, 19 June 2010 (UTC)Reply

There are plenty of articles that at least speculate on Taribo West's age. Nothing can be proved I know, but I think it's at least fair to mention that there has been a high level speculation, not least in Nigeria itself. Here's a link to a Guardian article on the issue which mentions bloggers speculating that Taribo West's real age is closer to late 50s. http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/feb/21/nigerian-football-age-old-problem —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.194.44.192 (talk) 16:35, 30 March 2011 (UTC)Reply

And another one that even quotes the birthdate given on this article's page: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2303426/Taribo-West-accused-lying-28-40.html

Caps edit

Do Olympic appearances not count as caps? The count appears off to me, especially if we look at 1996. LeoDaVinci (talk) 14:27, 4 February 2021 (UTC)Reply
