The lovely game of football is known for its nuances, complexity and many-sided quality, goal scoring is one of few statistics and substantial measurements we can use to rank players in world football.

Players make the cut on recognition simply on the basis of their goal scoring ability, rather than general ability as a footballer. Today we take a look at the ten NPFL goalscorers who have graced the league over the last ten years

My neighbours back in Bukuru, Jos South

I love mfon udoh as I liken him to muyin ogunbiyi they're both great players

Watching the Nigerian premier league always makes me feel guilty: I keep thinking there should be something better to be doing with my time...
But one day I hope to invest massively in the league, bring back my favorite club Insurance of Benin from oblivion and maybe even float my own club.

But where are some of these players now

of all the names i only know Ahmed Musa.
what happened to the others?.

They are making Nigeria proud, NPFL will also get to the level of buying/ signing international stars.

I HAVE NEVER ONE DIS B4 BUT THAT SALAMI GUY IS VERY HANDSOME...

Am I the only one who thinks Nigeria don't produce good strikers? They just play well for one or two seasons and switch off for the rest of their career.
I would love to see another thread opened for NPFL players' salary structure.

Guess kabiru alausa (julius berger) and igor otegiri (Rangers) were before the years that were captured because i rmbr those two did some exploits in their hay days.
