A look into the past helps us to realize how far we have gone. If we recall our football memories, we will definitely remember the heroics of some of the guys who helped in pioneering the display of Nigerian talents to the world's consciousness.Players who, in between the goal posts, made their impact felt all around the globe. Amazing shot stoppers that shocked the world with their brilliant displays during the World Cups, African Nations Cups, the Olympics and with their various clubs across the Eroupe and on Africa soil, we are taking a look at seven of the greatest goalkeepers of Nigeria in football history.The list is based on their performances, achievements and magic moments with both their National teams and their various football clubs.

Started his career with Calabar XI in 1946, Port Harcourt XI in 1949, and won the Governor’s cup with Railway FC, where he starred with Teslim ‘thunder’ Balogun in 1953. Ibiam became Nigeria’s first international goalkeeper on the trip with UK tourists in 1949. He took over from Isaac Akioye as a reserve goalkeeper and was in goal for Nigeria throughout the tour, except for the first game.
