How can anybody be born on the same date, October 23, as Edson Arantes Do Nascimento, Pele, and be ordinary? Rashidi Yekini was born in 1963, on October 23, exactly 23 years after Pele who, by the way, is still alive and kicking at 79. I should have known that he would never be ordinary when he strolled almost effortlessly into a mega star-studded Shooting Stars FC team in 1984 and grabbed a shirt. Greatness had been boldly written in his stars.
