In a heartfelt tribute, Rivers United General Manager, Chief Dr. Okey Kpalukwu, described Sinclair as a true legend of the sport. "We have lost another icon in Nigerian football. Our prayer is that God will halt the tide of sorrow sweeping through our football community," he said on behalf of the club's management, players, and staff.
Sinclair’s football journey was one of distinction—featuring for the senior national team and later taking up key coaching roles, including a stint as interim head coach of the Super Eagles in 1997. He famously coached Sharks FC and played a pivotal role in the development of stars like Peter Rufai, Taribo West, and Finidi George.
Renowned for his commitment to free-flowing, entertaining football, Coach Sinclair was more than just a tactician; he was a mentor and a teacher whose charisma and insight left a lasting imprint on Nigerian football.
Rivers United FC joins the entire football community in mourning his passing, offering prayers for his eternal rest and strength for his family, friends, and fans. His memory will live on through the countless lives he impacted on and off the pitch.
May Coach Monday Sinclair rest in peace.
