Both CCC and Keshi were iconic central defenders and captain for both club and country and I would like to start a debate as to who was the better player. This debate is not meant to degenerate one player for another but to create a healthy discussion.
My choice would be Stephen Keshi, a leader, motivator and pioneer in opening opportunities for Nigerian and African footballers in Europe.
While the Chairman had a quiet authority, Keshi was very vocal and could play as a defensive midfielder as well as his natural position of centre-back. This enabled him to attack and score long range volleys for both club and country. He captained every club he played for, from NNB, Anderlecht and Strasbourg. In his playing days, he took matches in which in team was not playing well by the scruff of the neck and turned the fortunes around.
His ability to read the game was second to none and he brought the best out of his team mates. A true Captain, Leader and Legend.
I am happy
