Overrated? Are you sure such can be used to describe kanu? Did you watch the Ajax of 95,96? Maybe that will change your mind about your narrative of Kanu!

Thierry Henry.
Role model like no other.

Player so good that even the British Monarchy couldn't resist going back in time to name their Kings after him.

Below is an accurate ranking of all time greatests of soccer.
After C.Ronaldo, there is Pele, then there is Henry, after which is Zidane, then Eusebio before Maradona..
Then a Messi far behind him.


Who is Eusebio?

Kanu was one of the best in Arsenal but was not highly appreciated maybe because of his skin color.

That's not true!
English man Mark Mcmanaman was at Liverpool before he left for Real Madrid...that was before when ronaldo was still a teen in the academy of sporting lisbon!
There are so many players who left EPL to other leagues even before ronaldo ever dreamt of coming to Manchester united from Lisbon!

Lol... I know... I mean Ronaldo was the most successful

Judged Arsenal's 13th best ever in 2010 or so. Invited to all their novelty matches. Invited to Wenger's last game.

What other appreciation do you want?

Patrick viera, wilford, Thierry Henry all have the same skin color. Kanu falsified his age and he suffered the consequences when his form dipped and never came back.

I know a racist when I see one.
Patrick Viera was not appreciated because of his skin?
Joel Campbell was not appreciated because of his skin ?

Laurent Etta Mayer was not appreciated because of his skin?

Emmanuel Ebouei was not appreciated brief his skin ?

Some of you here can't say anything objectively without looking at skin colour or tribe before you can judge correctly.

This is really bad.
Kanu was good no doubt, but Henry was better than him.

Nope..

Eusebio belongs to the 60's and early 70's..

Pele' era!!

Eusebio won the World cup golden boot with Portugal in 1966 WC with 9 goals! !

He has ruled Europe and the World before Platini's era!!
Cruyff, Beckenbauer, Rumenigge, Muller etc senior Platini sef undecided
