Former Super Eagles left back, Taye Taiwo, has been conducted into the Club of Legends of French Ligue 1 club Olympique Marseille.
Taiwo played for Marseille from 2005 to 2011. He made a great impact during his six-year stint, registering 25 goals and 23 assists in 271 appearances.
He was a key member of the team that won the Ligue 1, League Cup, and French Super Cup for the French club.
The 39-year-old Nigerian international, who also played for AC Milan and QPR, retired from football in 2019 and has been living in France since then.
Marseille’s Club of Legends is a hall of fame that recognises players who have made a great contribution to the club’s history.
Taiwo joins an elite group of players, including Samir Nasri, Lori Cana, and Mamadou Niang.
The former Super Eagles left-back’s induction is a result of his outstanding achievements and contributions to the club.
He is one of the only four Nigerians to have played for Marseille, alongside Wilson Oruma, Joseph Yobo, and Victor Agali.
