Kanu Is 55 Years Old! by smile11s(m): 10:18pm On Dec 06, 2009 |
Nwankwo Kanu's contribution to Portsmouth's win over Burnley in the English Premiership on Saturday has been hailed by his club's director of football Avram Grant. Kanu came off the bench in the 59th minute to help Portsmouth record a 2-0 victory. The 33-year-old's clever pass set up Hermann Hreidarsson to score the first goal for Pompey. And he continued to torment the Burnley defence with his deft touches. Kanu has started just twice for the Premier League strugglers this season but has a growing reputation as an impact substitute which has seen him called into action from the bench 13 times. And according to Grant, Kanu's contribution on Saturday was very important. "Football has changed a lot in the last 10 years, it has become more athletic and more aggressive," he said. "But I think we need to look for intelligent players like Kanu because in one move he can change the game, like he did for the first goal." Asked why the former Arsenal man did not start against Burnley, Grant joked: "It's very easy - he's 55 years old. He's 60 next year." But he added "He's highly intelligent and thinking about the game and he's very good for the team." http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/africa/8398087.stm |

Re: Kanu Is 55 Years Old! by AndreUweh(m): 10:06pm On Dec 07, 2009 |
Please for God's sake, stop making a jest of Kanu. Has he offended any of you personally?. Please respect him for his intelligence in his chosen profession and what he has achieved for Nigeria. Enough is enough. |
Re: Kanu Is 55 Years Old! by MrCrackles(m): 10:08pm On Dec 07, 2009 |
Andre Uweh:No one is knocking his achievements, but what i am against is FRAUD Kanu is a fraud for claiming to be 30-odd! Old "Soja" like him! ![]() |

Re: Kanu Is 55 Years Old! by AndreUweh(m): 10:23pm On Dec 07, 2009 |
Is Kanu not better than those who have been cheating on their wives? Is he not better than those who are on on drugs?. Is he not better than those who spend £4,000 on betting daily?. Is he not better than those who sell matches?. Is he not better than those who kill their wives, child, and hangs to death on top of the roof of their houses?. Is he not better than those who use hand to make crosses in world cup qualifiers? Is he not better than those who headbutt opponents in w/cup matches?. Please, the good people of N/land, let Kanu be. |
Re: Kanu Is 55 Years Old! by MrCrackles(m): 10:28pm On Dec 07, 2009 |

Re: Kanu Is 55 Years Old! by vislabraye(m): 9:02am On Dec 08, 2009 |
MrCrackles: If he is over 33, then i don't think the margin would be that much. Consider those U-17 of his time, how many are still playing active soccer? Wilson oruma; Mobi Okparakwu; Anosike et al. I think one of the ways you would know someone as a real age cheat is how long he lasts. Consider Philip Osundu, Christopher Ohenhen, Sunday Oliseh, |

Heep on ranting. The guy is busy making his millions every week; making impact wherever he goes, using his hard earned wealth to bring succour to children with heart related diseases, and yet you are sitting on the web castigating him when he does not even know you are here writing rubbish about him |

Na Avram Grant be Kanu Father, and the man no know Maths atall, the man na school drop-out . |
Re: Kanu Is 55 Years Old! by semid4lyfe(m): 3:13pm On Dec 08, 2009 |
Anyone who has seen Kanu close-up in real life will definitely know he's above 33 years. I'll say his real age is between 45 - 50 |
