Amunike, have you fallen this far?

On Spanish and Catalan television he now appears in an advert that jokes about his own lack of success at Barcelona. He plays the role of an entrepreneur setting up a business selling his football skills video. The advert for his video says "watch his best move over and over again", following which there are repeated clips of him about to take a throw-in. The advert then announces a free gift, a "Dance with Amuneke" video, in which we see him dancing, without great expertise, in a disco.

WATCH THE ADVERT HERE:

What's so wrong with the video? It's a commercial for crying out loud.

For Amunike to still be getting the look-in from directors/producers and actually being casted in commercials goes a long way to show that he is not a forgotten man in Spanish football.............

He is probably one of the best left sided forward/winger that have played in the La Liga........

Or maybe he has star quality unlike Eto'o and is not concerned about a future in football anymore. Is everyone supposed to play forever? Would you feel this same way about the "self parody" if it were Yekini, Amokachi, Finidi, Eguavoen, Keshi, Oliseh, or Rufai, (all Amunike's teammates) in the commercial instead?

Kevin's career ended due to a knee surgery. He was here in Calif some years back trying to get it fixed. I don't know how successful it went. The guy does not share his wealth, so I doubt if he's broke. But he lives modestly anyways so you will never know. His face looks rounder now more like mine now hehehe .. I guess he must be living well. He's so far out of shape, he can't play any pro level soccer. Plus he should be late thirties or early forties by now. That much I know. So what else can he do. Either coach or make commercials or lend his name to something. It wasn't like he had some college degrees you know.

Maybe he help the car company sell their cars in Naija. He can get rich easily doing that.

This is a nice commercial. He's advertising for Renault. If the moron that started this thread doesn't know, that means people actually know him. He's a star. it's only stars that car companies can hire to sell their things.

The ad was a parody of his throwing style. There really are many morons on CE.

I'll have to agree with you on this one. Like 1naija said, Amunike has star qualities. And that is outside of Africa for that matter.

Cooking Spoon, I believe that is your website. You know that your site is in serious trouble. I was able to edit part of the text and that is with me not even registering as a member.

The reason why i find this advert painful to watch is that one of Nigeria's greatest talents will be remembered not for his outstanding talent but for his lack of sucess in spain. George Weah, Abedi and the likes will never have to resort to such because their legacies are secure. The biggest tragedy is that Amunike will never be considered one of Africa's greats.l Very sad indeed

U are aware cooking spoon that his career was cut short by injury and not as a result of him not fufilling his potential!! Cause I don't understand how u can compare him to the greats when they had long and successful careers and he unfortunately as a result of injury didn't.

The important thing is that he is doing ok and the fact that the spanish remember him says a lot!! Abeg leave him to live his life, after all, you can only do so much with the cards life deals you!!
