Former Super Eagles defender, Mike Onyemachara, is dead.

Onyemachara, a member of the silver medal winning Flying Eagles team to Saudi Arabia in 1989, reportedly died on Thursday, May 4, 2023.

Though circumstances surrounding his death were still sketchy as at press time, information reaching TheNiche indicate that the ace footballer who also played for the Super eagles died in his 3-bedroom apartment in Ajegunle.

He was reportedly healthy when his wife left for work and kids left for school only for them to return and see that the food served him on the table was not touched and he was dead.

Some of his team mates who were very close to him, however, said that he had been complaining of back pains in recent times.

Onyemachara, a highly skillful defender, played most of his club football with First Bank of Lagos and was an influential member of the Saudi 89 Flying Eagles team.
