The late Edo-born coach was also part of the nation’s football team at the 1968 Mexico Olympic Games.

He was known for his curving shots, especially from free kick/dead ball situations.
He began his football career in 1956 when as a student, he featured for the Onitsha team in the Challenge Cup.
In 1962, he joined the then ECN and was part of the Challenge Cup winning side of 1965.
He was invited to the national team in 1962. He later became a regular in the build-up to the 1968 Olympic Games in Mexico.
After a successful playing career, Brodericks-Imasuen became a coach and handled the Midwest junior side to win gold medal at the inaugural National Sports Festival in 1973.
At another time, he was the assistant to Clemens Westerhof in the Super Eagles.
