Taribo West, the former Nigeria centre half, now
retired, joined Serbian team Partizan Belgrade in 2002 after leaving
Derby County and told club bosses he was 28 when he was actually 40.
Ex-president of Partizan Belgrade, Zarko Zecevic, has accused him of lying,
saying the former defender with Derby County, Plymouth and Inter Milan
was lying about his age while insisting that Taribo was actually 40.
“He joined us saying he
was 28. We only later found out he was 40, but he was still playing well
so I don’t regret having him on the team.”
According to the Croatian media, the
former defender also lied when
trying to join Croatia’s Rijeka club. At the age of 44, they said Taribo
told club doctors he was only 32. It was only after an examination that
the doctors raised suspicions with the club because Taribo’s knees
suggested he was older.
