Manchester United star Paul Pogba sent a touching message to Wycombe Wanderers midfielder Nnamdi Ofoborh following the Chairboys’ promotion to the Championship.
Wycombe won the League One play-off final with a dramatic 2-1 win over Oxford United at Wembley, with Ofoborh playing a key role as Gareth Ainsworth’s side reached the second tier for the first time in the club’s history.
Die-hard Liverpool fan and Wycombe striker Adebayo Akinfenwa received a message from Jurgen Klopp following the famous win and Ofoborh is the latest Chairboys player to receive a message from their Premier League hero.
Oforboh, on loan from Bournemouth, pleaded the Frenchman for a well done message on social media, tweeting: ‘i see @darealAkinfenwa getting mad replies from Liverpool players. i think this is the time to say @paulpogba i love you big time. my favourite player ever.’
The Wycombe man put out another tweet, saying: ‘honestly someone must know @paulpogba and if you do, help a bro out man’.
And World Cup winner Pogba clearly got hold of Oforboh’s request and filmed himself saying: ‘Yo Nnamdi, what’s up man? It’s your boy PP.
I heard about you, I just wanted to congratulate you on your promotion to the Championship. I heard about your long journey, in football and outside football. For sure, it’s not easy, it’s difficult what you did.
‘I just want to wish you the best – carry on, keep it up, keep doing what you’re doing man. I’m going to be looking after you, and looking at what you’re doing until you get to the Premier League. Keep it up my G, be together, peace man.’
Before joining Bournemouth, Ofoborh had struggled to make his name in the professional game having been released from Tottenham Hotspur and Millwall early on in his career, before signing a contract at Bournemouth.
Born in England, Ofoborh represents Nigeria internationally.
