Syenite: Where is Samuel Okwaraji?

He is on top of the list of best dead Nigerian footballer.
Re: Nigeria’s 50 Greatest Footballers Of All Time By Supersports by Nobody: 4:45pm On Jan 06, 2013
It is better to know criteria for the list before lamenting.
X-factoria:
Taye Taiwo in the list and Chidi Nwanu is not there, this must be a joke!!!!

How many years has Mikel played to be named among the greats

Top 3 should have been Kanu, Okocha and Yekini in no particular order.

person, stop running!

Tell us why Okwaraji was a great player.

Cretinous product of a failed education. You can't defend your assertion?

The reason is there are no nutrients in your brain from food or education.

Why the fck do you think I would remember all that? undecided

I can't even remember most of the fcking thing in Tunis 94 when we won? Why would I remember Maroc 88?

And what makes you think if I wanted to lie to you, I cannot google most of that?

That said, if I remember correctly (which I really don't care), Okwaraji wore no.8. If not no.8, then no.16 or 14.

Your test is worthless, mate. Just know I am old enough to have seen Maroc 1988.

I don't need to google search. I don't waste my time like that, it is a senseless test.

Now tell me what was special about Maroc 88 linking to Okwaraji. And also tell me why Okwaraji was a great player.

ImpactWorld: I believe the reason Kanu Nwankwo is placed above J. J. Okocha is because he played in more popular clubs and won more trophies internationally. In terms of personal skills, J. J. Okocha is undoubtedly number one

The reason kanu is ahead of jay Jay is because Kanu is a better footballer and more purposeful than Jayjay

Its not by coincidence that one resume reads Ajax, Inter Arsenal while the other reads Frankfurt, Fenerbahce, PSG and Bolton

Big club want big players and not circus entertainers like Okocha

Its like comparing a resume that reads Accenture, Exxonmobil, Goldman Sachs to one that reads Okonkwo and Sons, Obat petroleum and Wema Bank

KANU the best

Perenial long-term bench-warmer at Ajax, Inter, Arsenal and even Portsmouth and West Brom vs. King/Alhaji/Alfa/Olugbala/Owelle/Private Jet Flying Pastor at Frankfurt, Fenerbahce, PSG and Bolton. grin

I would take the latter anyday. He was also Olugbala of Super Eagles.

Kanu na bench-warmer jor. He is nowhere as good as Jay-Jay.

Jay Jay is the most talented and one of the top 3 most influential on the pitch Naija as ever had at SE's different primes.

Came on in the CL final when Ajax won Scored the winning goal in the FA cup for Portsmouth , WOn several titles in Inter and Arsenal

Chicharito is also a benchwarmer better than many starters

Mos def...Kanu was a greater player than okocha..Africa's most decorated footballer after Etoo Fills? okocha was great no doubt but Kanu remains the greatest footballer to come out of 9ja..

I agree with this. Okocha is a skillful player, but I'll pick Kanu b4 picking him.
