International career.
Agboola was first selected for Nigeria whilst with Sunderland, appearing in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Ghana on 13 April 1991 thus becoming one of the first non-Nigerian born players to represent his native country.
The "Super Eagles" qualified for the 1992 African Cup of Nations in Senegal and made it to the semi-finals, where they were defeated by Ghana. Nigeria then beat Cameroon in the third place play-off. He made a total of nine appearances for Nigeria, seven in the Nations Cup and two in World Cup qualifying matches.
After retiring from football Reuben returned to Southampton where he became the landlord at the "Sporting View" bar at the Southampton Sports Centre before moving to Majorca in 2004 to run a bar. He returned to Southampton again in 2007 where he took up work as a car dealer.
