Posted by Victor Boniface, a forward for Bayer Leverkusen, revealed that he nearly gave up football at the age of 21 when he hurt himself just two weeks after joining the Norwegian club FK Bodø/Glimt in 2019.
A 23-year-old with more “bad stories than good stories” from his “chaotic” time in Norway.
I lived in Norway for around three years. We were league runners-up once and champions twice. On the other hand, I found the footballing aspect to be somewhat disorganised. I felt terrible about it. Boniface joked on Mikel Obi’s podcast, saying, “I think I have more bad stories than good stories there” while speaking via Skype.
However, such is the reality of life. Shortly after signing with Norway, I tore my anterior cruciate ligament. When I was 21 years old, I nearly gave up on football.
He revealed in the interview that he played midfielder before relocating to Europe.
