Videos of Etim Esin in his Days

Post by seloweizer »

Anyone with videos of the brat? I want to see those skills for myself. I think we just overhyped the dude. He is nowhere close to Okocha.

Please post videos....

Even Abu agrees that Okocha is sooo good, they named him twice....the legend, the greatest of all time.

Anyway, with regards the Etim and Okocha comparison, na for pple mind...Okocha travelled all 4 corners of the earth and made a name for himself wherever he went...Etim cant wipe Okocha's boots even in his dreams; yet peeps are interested in is comparing, "what could have happened". I guess I'm better than Zidane..if only I was born in Brazil and went to a football academy. What an insult!

...I'm waiting for Etim's vid too. nonsense and ingredients!

Etim was someone that never reached his full potential. Similar to Tarila Okorowanta. Okocha made the best of his career unlike those other two. No point comparing.

Why? there are obviously tapes of his supposed exploits...if he was that gud, someone wud have unearthed and uploaded 'em...isnt it the '80s? seems all these hype is based on overhyped memory.

If NTA head dey correct, we should have footage of Etim playing for Calabar Rovers, Flash Flamengoes, Nationale and FE.

Like some already mentioned, Etim is just a case of unfulfilled potential.

So how do you compare an unfulfilled potential with an accomplished legend?

You compare their skills not their accomplishments, that's how. For all this talk about more skillful, I think Kanu is miles ahead of the 2 people wey una dey argue about.

No comparison. Etim is responsible for not fulfilling his potential as baller.

Okocha made the best of his career?
I can absoluetly not agree with that.
Okocha was mostly regarded as a very talented entertainer being to ineffective for a real big club.
What we loved about him cost him a very big career ala Ronaldinho or Zidane.

Etim Esin can't be compared to Okocha as Esin played in a total different time where African players weren't very appreciated on the eurpean football market.
Even if Esin lived up to his potential fully he would have find it hard to be signed by a big european club.

I don't believe it's fair to refer to anyone as unfulfiled potential in comparison with Okocha.
For all his sublime skills, what did he actually win?
While he did accomplish some things, he could have accomplished so much more over his career if he had played with a great team and/or under a great manager.

Etim Esin played all these fifa matches, how come no tapes. He stopped playing in 1993 so there must be a tape of him somewhere.

Pls do! Since it's in demand, maybe we can even add it to the Green Grass Cinema section. I'm sure we have guys like 2drama (sorry to volunteer u) that can youtube it for us.

I saw videos of Odegbami against average, amateur, primitive, uneducated african opponents and came to the conclussion that he would have struggled against the best in the world today unlike Yobo who has ruled them for almost a decade now.
