legendte:

Kanu remains the most successful and most decorated Nigerian player. His contribution to team Nigeria is unmatched. He won under 17 world cup in Japan '93. His legendary strike in 1996 Olympics can't be forgotten. He helped the country to qualify for many tournaments and scored some couple of goals too. You are right for saying that he never scored in the nation's cup but he is like every other player with a dark side in their career. George Waeh won world's footballer of the year award without participating in any world cup. Ronaldo De lima didn't win any UEFA champions league. Messi is yet to win a trophy with his national team. Okocha didn't win any CAF award which Kanu won twice. I could go on and on.
In conclusion, Papilo is a Legend and he is still making us proud.

No rooms for argument,I don late for work.
Kanu is a legend anytime,any day.
Dis names you mentioned because they did not win a particular tournament in their life,does dat make Kanu greater than them?
Even Efan Ikoku got a champions medal without kicking a ball at the Tunisia 94 nations cup and he was decorated with a gold medal.
Live matter for Mathias.

O boy kpror!
Kanu dat cudnt score a single goal in 9 major tournaments(3 World Cup and 6 nations cup) and
You are here saying Fulani dis,Biafra dat.
U don brush?
World greatest strikers Neva went to plenty tournaments like dat without leaving a mark.
Which kain plenty hype be dat.
Okocha had 7 goals in four nations cup,Aghahowa also had seven nations cup goals in three nations cup tournaments.
Kanu is good in his own right.
If they say he is good,we'll agree.
Not comparing him to Pele and the rest.
Even Nigerian best footballer Okocha,never get dat kain accolades.

And okocha is igbo

Three reasons why I still loved Kanu after Olympic '96;

* He knew how to fall in the penalty box.

* He knew how to entertain fans, esp when the Eagles were leading with 2 goals or more.

* His unbelievable angle strike during Arsenal's 49 unbeaten run.



I'm surprised this thread is yet to reach fp.

the strike you talked about wasn't during their unbeaten run
