SMH at some of these people...
Give us reasons for your arrogant facts...
I'll give you a history lesson. Just be patient for a week or two. Way too much on my plate right now.

God keep us all in good health till then.

BTW, I fully agree that Vince is the greatest SE Keeper ever.

But to even suggest that he is the best keeper the SE has had is just ridiculous.

For those trying to rubbish the level of previous CANs, CIV '84 and Maroc '88, were probably the highest level CANs of all time. A couple of factors led to this too. (Hurts to state this, especially as those Plantanians won both)

Let's keep this thread aside for a couple of weeks.

Kanu is the greatest Super Eagle of all time.
He isn't even top 20 among those he's played with.

Must be a typo.
The difficulties of statistical thinking describes a puzzling limitation of our mind: our excessive confidence in what we believe we know, and our apparent inability to acknowledge the full extent of our ignorance and the uncertainty of the world we live in. We are prone to overestimate how much we understand about the world and to underestimate the role of chance in events -- Daniel Kahneman (2011), Winner of the Nobel Prize in Economics

Prof., I read am, read am again. Even involve Google translator.

I need help.

With regards to the topic on hand, I am wondering which Rufai he was watching or even the Okalla that TXJ is swearing on.

I believe Vince is the greatest and best, but I understand the difference that Truetalk is trying to make. Greatest generally means one who achieved the most. Best means most talented.

Michael Jordan is the greatest basketball player of all time, but skill for skill, he isn't the best basketball player of all time.

Love Rufai. Enyema was amazing.

You do have to throw Okalla into the discussion too.

Lots of parallels too: each won a Nations Cup, the only ones we've won.

As a physical specimen and for his time, you'd have to go with Okalla. More intimidating that Schmichael and Grobblear put together. With the agility of a man half his size.

For consistency over time, Rufai hung around, 98 notwithstanding. I saw him when we defeated Algeria in 88 for Olympic qualifying and man he was immense.

But for having played at the highest levels, 3 Wc's (should have been 4), his record in France, the sheer ridiculousness of some of his saves especially off Messi in 2010, I'll go Enyeama. But you really could pick any of the three

Fortunately for Okala, there really isn't any real footage around today with which to do an objective assessment.
Its all based on memories.
Okala was larger than life both physically and metaphorically, but I do not think he was on the same performance level as Chukwu, Adokiye, Odegbami and Muda.

He definitely could not be described as "agile".
