Peter Odemwingie Back In West Brom Colours

Former Super Eagles striker Peter Odemwingie will be donning the blue and white colours of former English Premier League side West Bromwich Albion in April in a Charity game in a tribute to club legend and mascot, Richard Eades.

Odemwingie who now plays for Indonesian First Division side Madura FC United, will join other Albion stars of yesteryear like Darren Moore, Lee Hughes, Russell Hoult and Kevin Donovan who will form  an All-Stars side to play at Halesowen Town on April 29 against Boing FC in a game geared to raise funds for Richard Eades, formerly the Albie mascot at the Hawthorns.

The former Albion striker according to a report on Birmingham Live stated that the Nigerian is looking forward to 'putting on the Blue and White stripes' in the tribute game.

Eades, 42, died before the club's boxing day game against Everton.

The late Eades was also manager of Boing FC which is the club's supporters club team.

Odemwingie also played for Cardiff City, Bristol City, Stoke City and Rotherham United in the United Kingdom.
