Rashidi bolu was sooo special.
Re: Sepp Blatter Remembers Yekini On 50th Birthday by naptu2: 6:18pm On Oct 24, 2013
I thought I would never ever see this match again.

Nigeria 4vs0 South Africa at the National Stadium Lagos in October 1992.

Riichard Owobokiri was the highest goal scorer in the Portuguese League (Yekini became the highest goal scorer after Owobokiri). The South Africans knew (and feared) Owobokiri, but they had never heard of Yekini.

Nigerians felt that Owobokiri played better at his club than he did for the Super Eagles, but Westerhof decided to give him one more chance.

Yekini scored 2 goals, Owobokiri scored 1 and Siasia also scored 1.

Shown in this video are Owobokiri's goal and one of Yekini's goals (unfortunately, they showed the less spectacular of the two goals).
