1973 ke- in a country where we do not keep records - Thank God for Nigeria hosting Afcon in 1980- otherwise the case of Odegbami CCC Muda Felix and co would have been like above - see picture and only able to name 1 or 2.
anyone that names more than 6 will be doing so merely from memory and guess work.
kid born 10 years will name the England 1966 winning team by heart- first 11

I could p[ossibly name more than half of them but the photo that I see is only from left to Okala and that is it. Can you reduce the size so that we can see most of them?
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

Re: 1973 Green Eagles
I am going to refrain because I have seen this photo and the names on WhatsApp, otherwise it's the 3 Rangers greats that I recognize (Okala, Ezeani and Achebe).

Re: 1973 Green Eagles
Did they use actual soccer boots back then? What about shin guards?

Re: 1973 Green Eagles
Shin guard was not compulsory until around 89. At least in Nigerian, it was in 1990 I started using shin guards because it became compulsory. Even the FISU games I attended in 87 I played without shin guards..... It was the advent of aids that made it compulsorymaceo4 wrote:Did they use actual soccer boots back then?

As for boots, shattap dia.... They have been using boots since the 60s
