My Weekend Ritual: Tuning into Spanish Radio for Christopher Ohenhen’s Goals

Christopher Ohenhen was one of the most feared Nigerian strikers in La Liga. I used to tune into Spanish radio shortwave stations on weekends, hoping to hear him score for Santiago Compostela. He made his name after the Flying Eagles’ Daman miracle, coming back from four goals down against the USSR and nailing long-range free kicks. Every time the commentator screamed “¡Goallllllll, Christopher Ohenhen, Santiago de Compostela uno, Barcelona cero!”, my small transistor radio felt alive. It was pure joy hearing him find the net again and again. I often wonder where Christopher Ohenhen is now and whether he’s still remembered for those match-winning moments.
