TBT: Otorogu, Pirates' Misfiring Gentle Giant

TBT: Otorogu, Pirates' Misfiring Gentle Giant

With Orlando Pirates seemingly struggling for goals this season, fans will remember a former Bucs striker Ezenwa Otorogu, who was brought in to score goals, but failed dismally. 

The Nigerian spent time with the Buccaneers for just one season in the 2010/11 campaign.

He managed to rack up four goals, but that was the end of his purple patch. The 32-year-old did however form part of Pirates' treble-winning side.

The burly striker was widely regarded as one of the worst strikers in Pirates' history with question marks surrounding his age and overshadowing his stay in Mzansi.

He later joined Bloemfontein Celtic on a short-lived deal that yielded no goals. 

Otorogu has been clubless for over a year, having left American side Izee Auto FC in 2018.

What are your memories of Otorogu in a Bucs jersey?
