Solid list.. though i would remove babangida and insert Amokachi or Siasia. Other than that, its hard to argue who else to replace.

BTW eyan, Cele and Lawal have no business being anywhere near this list. Kanu can make the the bench.

TJ was a damn fast player in his prime. Probably faster than current guys like Jag and Martins. In his prime (mid-late 90s) he might arguably have been the fastest player in the world. Remember him embarassing Maldini and tearing at Roberto Carlos?
