before hanging his boots, and he stayed true to
his word.
Peter Odemwingie no doubt is a father who keeps his
promises. The former West Bromwich Albion striker said
he would give his daughter a goal before retiring from
football, and he fulfilled that on his debut for Madura
United.
The 35-year-old who spent several years in the English
league joined the Indonesian topflight side and became
an instant hit on first appearance.
With his team leading 1-0 against Bali United Busam, he
came off the bench to score the second goal from the
penalty spot in the 74th minute to hand them a 2-0
victory.
And the former Nigeria international took to social
media to establish that he is a man of his word.
''Daddy promised his little princess a goal before he
retires from football and he did it in his first game for
Madura United FC,'' Odewingie tweeted.
The tweet is also a strong hint that the Indonesian outfit
could be his last before calling time on his football
career.
Madura United are second on the log with three points,
and they travel to Andi Mattalata Stadium to face Herry
Kiswanto's Persela Lamongan on April 21.
