PASSING AWAY OF ELDER STATESMAN PA ALH. KOSOKO

It is with deep sense of loss to notify our members the sad incidence passing away of PA ALH. KOSOKO (ELDER STATESMAN IN FOOTBALL REFEREEING) on Thursday 8TH August 2013. Most of us would remember him for his devotion and commitment in teaching of upcoming referees in Lagos. Hardly is there any referee whom have not gone through the tutelage of this elder Statesman. The legacy  of which he will always be remembered for  was his desire to always teach and encourage young referees to watch football matches so that they can learn from their colleagues. He fondly call himself 'RIT' Referee-In-Training, that is he still need to learn. Adieu Pa Alh. Kosoko
