And who is disputing he is not a 'Legend'?

What we are saying is Rashidi Yekini is more legendary than Kanu Nwankwo when it comes to Nigerian football. Simple!

fifa has always been biased in giving individual awards based on club form than country.
For example, George Weah came second behind Ronaldo in the 1996 award purely based on his exploits with Ac Milan, whatever he did with Liberia was not in the blue print atall obviously because war-torn Liberia, I strongly doubt played any international game durring that period.

Kanu didn't get on the top 10 list because of his Olympics form, but because of his exploits at ajax. Ask yourself this question, had kanu been playing for Slovan liberec and he won the Olympics gold medal, will he have been considered in a FIFA merit list of top 10 world best in 1996? I need an honest answer

Tottenham schooled Manchester City yesterday and the person Orchestrating the game was Dele Alli.

Soon, we will lose better ones due to na my brother system of selecting players.

Olympic was part of it, don't forget finidi was part of the Ajax team but Kanu won the APOTY and was included in world top 10, if it was base on club form alone then finidi won come before Kanu that year

TheGoodJoe:

When it comes to football and Nigerians who achieved a lot on football, Kanu is more legendary than Yekini.

Kanu from Ajax, to Inter Milan to Arsenal played with some of the best players of the game.

So playing in Nigeria league makes one more legendary to the other. kan-u believe this smh. Maybe in future we hear something like Stanley okoro is more legendary than Iheancho cos he played in NPFL

goldfish80:

Had Kanu been playing at Asec but won the Olympics, will he have made the FIFA top 10?

TheGoodJoe:


We do not need a player like Dele Alli. His allegiance lies with England.

TheGoodJoe:


Kanu would not make the FIFA Top ten without the Olympics.

goldfish80:

How come George weah came 2nd and actually won the player of the year with little or no international football and Olympics?

forgiveness:


Yes! We don't need player like Ovie Ejaria. His allegiance lies with England. Sorry.

We don't like statement devoid of substantial facts.

Now, show me what he won with the Nigerian National team.

How come CAF best players emerged while playing in African league sometimes ago?

zicky:
Go to Portmouth or Arsenal and tell the fans Kanu is no a legend, two times African footballer of the year which other Nigerian player can boost of that

TheGoodJoe:


George Weah was amazing at AC Milan. He did not need International football to get to that level. Kanu did.

Kanu Nwankwo would not make that list without his Olympics heroics. The simple fact is that, FIFA recognised Kanu's heroics.

TheGoodJoe:


Kanu is one of the most accomplished African Footballers of all time. You must not win with the Super Eagles to become an accomplished Nigerian footballer.

Stop using National team. Use Super Eagles. The U17, U20, Olympics and Super Eagles are all National teams.

TheGoodJoe:


Ovie Ejaria pledged his international future to Nigeria.

Yes! But he has changed his mind hence he is heart now lies with England U21. He is already in camp training and laughing at.....

National team(Super Eagles of course) is what that matters. Go and ask Brazil who their legend is, go and ask Argentina who their legend is btw Diego Amadi Maradona and Lionel Messi, go and ask Cameroun who is their legend btw Roger Milla and Eto.. I can go on and on.

forgiveness:


He is not a Nigerian.

TheGoodJoe:


Ovie Ejaria pledged his international future to Nigeria. Playing for the English U20 does not affect his international future.

TheGoodJoe:


Roger Milla is a legend and we adore his contribution to the development of African football.

Compared to Eto'o come on. From the top of my head.

Nations cup in Nigeria Ghana 2000. The Sidney Olympics in 2000. The Champions league, La Liga and Copa Del Rey Under Guardiola at Barcelona, the treble under Mourinho at Inter Milan.

Haba. Eto'o was remarkable.
