BBNaija: I quit professional football after destroying my right knee – Cross
An ex-housemate in the recently-concluded Big Brother Naija show, Cross, has revealed that he once played football professionally before joining the reality TV show.
Cross was one of the finalists in the Shine Ya Eye edition of the show.
In a Facebook live interview with The PUNCH Online on Wednesday, Cross said that being a footballer led him to becoming a football enthusiast.
Cross said, “I was an athlete when I was growing up. I liked football. I used to play a lot but I destroyed a part of my right knee.
“Because of that , I stopped playing professionally. I had to stop for a while
“After I got my right knee better, I started hitting the gym and I started working out.
“I even used to train people back then. I remember I used to train a lot of people back then in Abuja.
“Then I took it as a fun thing to do; to work out and keep the mind at peace.”
Cross, who revealed that he played upfront, stated that he would have gone far in his football career if not for the injury.
Cross said, “As far as the sky could take me. I had unlimited abilities. I was very very fast and strong. Then, they used to call me ‘terminator’ because I was very skillful. It was quite impressive for me to do a lot of things. It was interesting.”
