The Yak I don’t know. That tap-in he missed in SA 2010 against S. Korea is forever etched in my memory.1naija wrote: ↑Wed May 24, 2023 8:21 pm I personally think none of the kids today compare to him in terms of how he use to come in as a sub and change the outcome of the game. I personally think he was more effective as a sub than as a starter.
Starting from that era, if I were to pick the top 5 among them (STRICTLY AS SE strikers), it would be
1. Yakubu Aiyegbeni
2. Aghahowa
3. Osimhen ( will blow everyone out of the water by the time he is done)
4. Obafemi Martins (I think he waited a bit too long to feature for Nigeria or would have easily been no.1)
5. Ighalo

Igahlo peaked a bit late and didn’t have the “right” supporting guys around him with the SE.
But if you listen to people here you will think he was the worst player to ever come out of Nigeria. This was in the same EPL that we are saying it's hard to score goals in today.He appeared in over 250 Premier League matches for Portsmouth, Middlesbrough, Everton, and Blackburn Rovers, and is the fourth highest African goalscorer in Premier League history with 96 goals.[5]
