Tesilimi Olawale "Teslim" Balogun (1927 – 30 July 1972) was a Nigerian football player and coach. Balogun played at both professional and international levels as a striker, before becoming Africa's first qualified professional football coach.

Career

Playing career

Educated in Port Harcourt and graduating from St. Mary's Catholic School,[1] Balogun played in his native Nigeria for a number of teams, including Apapa Bombers, Marine Athletics, UAC XI, Railways XI, Jos XI, Pan Bank Team, Dynamos Club and SCOA XI.[2] During his time in Nigeria, Balogun won the Challenge Cup a total of five times in seven finals.[2]

He was the first player to have a hat-trick in the competition, in Pan Bank's 6-1 rout of Warri in 1953.[3]

After originally touring with a Nigerian select team in 1949, Balogun returned to the UK in August 1955 to sign with Peterborough United.[4] However, Balogun never made a league appearance for Peterborough,[5] and spent time with Skegness Town before signing with Queens Park Rangers, scoring 3 goals in 13 appearances in the Football League during the 1956–57 season.[6] After leaving QPR, Balogun returned to non-League football, playing with Holbeach United.

Balogun was also a member of the Nigerian national side for 12 years.[3]

Coaching career

Balogun became the first African to qualify as a professional coach.[2] He was a coach for Nigeria at the 1968 Summer Olympics.[2]

Legacy

The Teslim Balogun Stadium in the Nigerian city of Lagos is named in his honour.[2] The Teslim Balogun Foundation was founded after his death to assist the families of Nigerian ex-international footballers who may have fallen on hard times.[7]

Personal life

Balogun was nicknamed "Thunder" because of his powerful shot,[8] and was also known as "Balinga" for a similar reason.[2] During his time touring schools to coach youngesters, he was nicknamed "Baba Ball."[2]

Balogun died in his sleep on 30 July 1972, at the age of 45.[2] He had eight children.[2]
