Abeg who dash Efan Ekoku 20 caps??

Post by heavyd »

Just watching the SE vs Uruguay match again on BBC iplayer and they are crediting Ekoku with 20 caps and 6 goals :shock: :shock:

Where the hell are they getting their stats from? The guy was a bit part player under Westerhof as Yekini, Amokachi and Siasia were the preferred strikers. He was used sparingly and only got Five caps and no goals. Infact I dont even think he played a full 90 minutes.

They may have gotten it from his wikipedia entry which says 20caps - as of today June 22.

ekoku also represented us after the westerhoff era and i seem to remember him being a very good and committed player for nigeria. even if those stats are wrong whats the big deal?

Considering that he was involved in at least 3 journeys(and,wc,cc) and some matches in between . 20 caps is not unrealistic.

Abacha robbed these boys of 2 nations cups (1996 and 1998). Our talent was unmistakeable during the golden years from 1992-2002!

6 games, 0 goals according to his national-football-teams.com profile :

http://www.national-football-teams.com/ ... Ekoku.html

Their numbers tend to be pretty accurate but not sure how complete their database is for Nigeria in the 90s

Efanwgu Ekoku was a member of the AFCON 1994 squad. He is still one of the very few players on record to come in as a sub for SE and be subbed. Against Zaire (whom we beat 2-0 with goals from Yekini), Westerhoff introduced him in the 2nd half and when he missed an open goal, Westerhoff subbed him off!

But when people say the same of Arsenal, yours is a different tune. Why? Not to derail the thread, just state an all too familiar trend amongst Nigeria Gooners, t'is the back of the hand for Nigeria and a welcome palm for the great, pale skinned, massa.
