second to comment

Mine would be;

Yekini and Kanu in Attack

Mid-field

Amunike left wing
Finidi George Right Wing
Okocha (Central Mid field)
Oliseh (Defensive mid field)

Defence

Left wing (Babayaro)
Right wing (Yobo)
Central (Uche Okechukwu and Taribo west)

Eyeama would be a better choice for goal keeper to Rufai

3rd to koment

am nt really a fan of football .but in those days this players make me a proud Nigerian b4 P.D.P came in

Abujafood: Eyeama would be a better choice for goal keeper!

i agree with u

THESE ARE THE TEAM THAT COULD HAVE WON US A WORLD CUP, PUT WE LOST IT TO BAD MANAGEMENT OF THE NFA THEN.

SOMEBODY IS MISSING IN THE LIST LIKES OF :

MUTIU ADEPOJU,

FELIX OWOLABI,

ADOKIA AMASEMAKA

interchange BAbayaro n Iroha.....Good selection, bad tactics/formation

Abujafood:
Oliseh (Defensive mid field)

Or Osaro Obabaifo.

Who put Agboola in that list? What happened to Yisa Shofoluwe?

tunapawizzy: interchange BAbayaro n Iroha.....Good selection, bad tactics/formation

Iroha was wonderful in that game Nigeria v Ivory Coast @ Tunisia '94. He took out Michel Basole without getting a red card and even scored a goal. I lost my voice on that day.

Those team were the best ever

Nigeria is blessed with talent. When I originally made that list in 2010 it was so difficult that I had to draw up a second list of 23. On the left we could have any one of Felix Owolabi, Muda Lawal, Friday Ekpo, Friday Elaho and Emmanuel Amunike. Hard to choose, but I go with Amunike and Muda Lawal.

Humphrey Edobor (Jersey No 11 or 7 can't really remember) should be on the list. That guy used to score from the touchline.

What about Garba Lawal? A very consistent and disciplined footballer.

Naptu the great!

Ikpeba(former africa footballer of the year),Mutiu(headmaster), Tijani Babangida....y r they not on your list

Great players indeed,they played for passion,and not the so called players we have now that are playing for money,and very arrogant.

okay, we had great players in the past. Cool. I think it's time we stop consoling ourselves with our past glories and start foccusing on the present and the future

shadrach77: okay, we had great players in the past. Cool. I think it's time we stop consoling ourselves with our past glories and start foccusing on the present and the future

Yep! That's going to be the title of my next thread (The Problem With Nigerian Football). It'll also include solutions to the problems.

Where is the name of best utility player Nigeria ever had SAM OKWARAJI

Furo Iyenemi

Olumide Harris

Karibe Ojigwe

MIke Eneramo

Efe Sodje

Mohamed Manga

Isaac Okoronkwo

Abiodun Baruwa (in goal)

Nigeria is so blessed with endless talents.

But Nigeria wasted all of them.

No Sam okparaji there, I think he has a space.

What of Yakubu Ayegbeni.Former world best.

To me d best will still remain USA 94 Squad.....

I remember back in the days! No more talent but thrash. Those guys were Nigeria's best, no doubt.

The stars in action.

Eagles best defence must have Yisa Shofoluwe, Bright Omokaro, Christain Chukwu (Stephen Keshi), with Emmanuel Okalla as goalkeeper.

Nice one OP, this is my team .. . .
