Nigeria football team has experienced so many football players since time immemorial till date.
It is not a lie if we say our strikers are always among the best in Africa, ranging from records, statistics and successful careers. Some of them include:
Yakubu Ayegbeni
Yakubu is one of the strikers that tried his best for the super eagles’ team during his time.
Even though the former EPL player has his name in the list of many Nigerians’ black list because of the unbelievable goal he missed, but his stats proves he is one of the best strikers Nigeria ever had.
Odion Ighalo
Odion Ighalo who just got the golden boot in the last concluded AFCON is a sharp striker who terrorizes any defence effortlessly. He just retired after the AFCON tournament but was a key figure in the success outing of Super Eagles in the tournament.
He has stabled his name into the brains of many football fans as one of the sharpest strikers in the history of Nigerian football.
Rashidi Yekini
Rashidi Ayegbeni is a legend as long as African football is concerned. Many young football fans are not priviledged to witness this man but his records speak for him.
The late Rashidi is the first Nigerian player to score in the worldcup. He died few years ago after a short illness.
Obafemi Martins
ObaGoal (King Of Goals), as fondly called by his lovers is a born scorer wwho is a no respecter of any goalie.
He uses both legs conveniently and have a speed that can outrun any defender. The former Newcastle player is also regarded as one of the best players to have ever come out of Africa.
These are 4 out of many star strikers we have/had in Nigeria.
