Yakubu Aiyegbeni returned to England on a short spell to Reading. A Twitter handle bearing his name tweeted on his age, rejecting that he is 32.

Yakubu Aiyegbeni’s official football age is 32 and that has identified him since he started playing football.

A twitter handle parody bearing the name of the Edo state born footballer raised questions regarding the Yak’s real age.
