Many have regarded Yakubu Aiyegbeni as a
football legend but when and how did he
become one?


This isn't even about his miss in South
Africa.

What remarkable point did he achieve that
has made him worthy of being conferred a
legendary status?


Throughout his career in the EPL,he notched
96 goals in total.These are good numbers
but poor for legendary rankings when you
consider his goals didn't win his team any
trophies.

Ask the Egyptians to mention a legendary
Egyptian player in the PL and every hand will
be pointed at Salah.
Ask the Ivoriens to mention legendary
Ivorien players in the PL and the likes of
Yaya Toure and Drogba will be mentioned
Ask the Senegalese and Mane will be
mentioned.
These players' legendary status can't be
questioned because they've scored
important goals,put in various heroic shifts
on the pitch and more importantly,brought
home laurels that were lacking at their
respective clubs.


Can you really put Yakubu in the same class
as the above named African legends

Even Aubameyang that is a consistent scorer
and an EPL Golden boot winner cannot be
classed as a legend.How much more
Yakubu?


On the international scene,what did
Yakubu offer the national team in the
Nations cup or the world cup that is worth
remembering?
Absolutely nothing.
Is Yakubu a good player?Yes
Is Yakubu a football legend?Nope
Is Yakubu a legend of open goal misses that
even my grand ma can score?Of course.
