Meet Trust, The Man With Trustworthy Nerves On Star Football SuperFans

Trust Monday Andah is one brave man. After full-time and extra time on Nigeria’s biggest football game show powered by premium beer Star Lager, the tie was deadlocked at 1-1 with both teams refusing to give an inch to each other and for the first time since the game show started, penalties would be needed to separate the two sides. It was now up to him to step up and be counted. He came up first in the sudden-death penalty shootout, which involved scoring a blind, back heeled penalty into a small goalpost at the centre of the studio.

For his team Five Star FC made up himself and five other passionate Arsenal fans, Chinedu Mmadu,  Ejike Madueke, James Samuel and Kelechi Ohaju, the stakes could not be higher. Score this penalty and give them a big chance of winning the N1 million star prize and the bragging rights for this week as SuperFans of all SuperFans. Miss it and present Ultimate FC, made up of five Chelsea fans Patrick Oti, Babatunde Clement, Timothy Ike, Collins Ugwu and Chukwuma Oragui with a chance to score theirs without pressure and win the prize.

Show host Mozez Praiz asked him “Are you ready? Are you sure you know what is at stake?” He wordlessly nodded his reply and steadied himself. The audience fell silent and his teammates held one other in silent supplication as the tension rose. He hit a clean back-heel, which rolled straight into the goal, sparking celebration and an outpouring of relief from his teammates as the pressure was now on Ultimate FC’s Collins Ugwu. “Miss this and you’ve lost Collins, do you understand that?” Mozez Praiz asked. “Yes,” he said looking sick with tension. He steadied himself and swung – mishitting his back heel and sending the ball well wide of the left-hand post, sparking wild jubilation from Five Star FC as they were finally crowned champions!

“OLE! OLE OLE, OLE! OLE!” they sang riotously as the N1 million cheque was presented to them amidst joyful, celebratory scenes.
