I HAVE PASSION FOR COACHING – SAILOVER COACH

The late coach Osaro Ojo brought coach Lawrence Orairo as his assistant although he coached a team at the national stadium but be heft it to join the new team because he had the passion to coach a team in Kirikiri town and he wanted to make an impact in where he

lived. The coach Osaro died in 2008 and Coach Lawrence assumed full responsibility of the club.

Coach Lawrence is the organizer of Eko O Ni Baje Cup, an annual football tournament that had the presence of teams from several local governments in Lagos state. A team in Kirikiri town beat his team to win the maiden edition of the tournament.

Coaching is his only profession as he was once a professional player with Bendel insurance, New Nigerian Bank team, NNPC team, NEPA team (Lagos and Benin). He started his football career in Benin and ended up starting his coaching career in Benin with the same team he once played for.

He is also the head coach of National Association of Nigerian footballers.

He was called up to play for the national team but for injuries sustained he couldn’t make it. His playmates were the likes of Steven Keshi, Nwosu Edobor, Orairo, Austin Popo, Tarila Okporowanta, Henry Nwosu etc

Fondly called Orizo, Orash by his team mates, he was a defender who could be flexible at any wing of the pitch of play. He was part of the team that won the elusive WAFU CUP in 1983-84.

Our motto remains…Upgrading Standards.
