Ol'boy, ABEG, delete that one time.Mr Shows wrote:Arguably just as good, if not better than Okocha. Could dribble with both feet, had a canon of a shot, excellent free kick taker but just lacked discipline.
I never saw Etim Esin play as I was barely even born the last time, but I can definitely call that assertion bullshit... with due respect to your opinion of course.Mr Shows wrote:Arguably just as good, if not better than Okocha.

BS might be a bit harsh, but EE was definitely up there with some of the Nigerian dribbling legends.Tobi17 wrote:I never saw Etim Esin play as I was barely even born the last time, but I can definitely call that assertion bullshit... with due respect to your opinion of course.Mr Shows wrote:Arguably just as good, if not better than Okocha.

GOOD LIST OF PLAYERS YOU DREW UP THERE, AND...TonyTheTigerKiller wrote:There are less than a handful of Nigerian players with comparable talent to Jay-Jay’s. The most obvious was Godwin Ogbueze. Mathias Obianika and Haruna Ilerika had considerable and significant dribbling skills, as did Christian Madu, who had general open field savvy as well. Samson Siasia also had his moments
Cheers.

...with the exception of Madu, I'm familiar with their plays and levels. That's why I feel confident that Haruna Ilerika was clearly on a different level compared to them. He was at one time the offensive backbone of the SE, something that can't be said of any of the other players. As a matter of fact, I have a real problem choosing between Okocha and Haruna.

He did. He was in the National team years before Muda. After the Nigeria/Ghana sports festival in 1975, Father Tiko invited the young stars like Odiye. Usiyan, best Ogedegbe to camp, that was when Muda took that position from Ilerika. Muda was more of an intelligent player than Ilerika.Damunk wrote:But Haruna was unable to nail down a permanent spot in the then Green Eagles.Bell wrote:GOOD LIST OF PLAYERS YOU DREW UP THERE, AND...TonyTheTigerKiller wrote:There are less than a handful of Nigerian players with comparable talent to Jay-Jay’s.

Wasn't it Muda that was keeping him out?
