Sure but when Abiola Babes and Iwuanyawu Nationale came,it wasn't easy for them again.Also remeber when Muminu Aminu splashed Money like Abrohamovic for El kanemi of Bornu.
Rangers in my view,is the most consistent bcos the team NEVER went on relegation ever since it was formed and had a good share of supplying players to the national team.Infact,i remember matches where all the Nigerian Green Eagle players were from just Rangers and shooting stars back then.
Rangers and IICC were the strongest and matches involving the two was always brutal.My closest shave with death was in a match in Enugu between Rangers and IICC and eventhough i sat in state box-with Jim Nwobodo as Anambra gov-i got tangled trying to escape teargas from riot policemen who were trying to stop the fracas that ensued.The rivalry continued and even claimed the life of Finidi George's younger brother playing,for Rangers after a match in Ibadan against Shooting stars.Rangers won and Ibadan fans shot at the playes bus,George caught a stray bullet that ended his life.Dude was to head to Holland for trials with Ajax the nextweek
