Super Eagles All Time Eleven by Theben(m): 11:12am On Dec 24, 2013
Here is my list

Goal keeper
Vincent Enyeama

Defenders

Left back--- Benedict Iroha
Centre back1 ---- Joseph Yobo
Centre back 2 ---- Christian chwukwu
Right back ---- Efe Ambrose (arguable)

Midfielders

Defensive midfielder --- Sunday Oliseh
Centre Midfielder --- Austin Okocha
Attacking Midfielder ---- Nwankwo Kanu

Attackers
Right wing ---- Finidi George
Left wing ---- Emmanuel Amunike
Striker---- Yekinni

Reserve --- Peter Rufai, Segun Odegbami, Mikel Obi, Stephen Keshi, Daniel Amokachi, Uche Okechukwu, Taribo West.

From the list of 11 players, Only Kanu Nwankwo failed to win an AFCON trophy. He is however the most decorated of them all.

Joseph Yobo, though was not a key player in the team that won the last AFCON trophy, his role in the Eagles Jersey since his first cap for Nigeria cannot be overlooked.

You all are free to dispute my list and present yours.

Joseph Yobo was a great centre back for Nigeria. He scored so many important goals for us. And his defense was great until now. I remember my cousin boasting about his inclusion in 2004 nations cup squad. His statement then was "having yobo in our defense is like sealing a wall with concrete, nothing can penetrate".

We forget things easily in this country. Yobo should arguably be the best all time Nigerian defender IMO

Yobo ??.Good defender,but him brain they touch sometimes.
He can make mistakes eehn.
Re: Super Eagles All Time Eleven by naijanoni(m): 12:35pm On Dec 24, 2013
The only fault in dat team is ambrose.
Is it because he won d afcon ?.
Even Chidi odia and Yusuf mohammed(dont know where he is) were better right backs.
I agree with nedu :-

The right back position is about the only position we're yet to produce an exceptional talent. Efe Ambrose having been listed in the CAF 11 earlier this year for his contribution in the AFCON inspired my mentioning him on my list.

Not only did he participate in the AFCON, he was very influential. Won the man of the match in two of the games.

However, he still has a lot to do to be considered a legend.

For those who don't remember!

Yobo was better at right back.

Thanks but no thanks to David Moyes for changing that.

Enyeama has surpassed Rufai. I think so too!

Joseph Yobo- Highly energetic, fast and efficient in dealing with set piece. He also scored some important goals for Super Eagles. Above all, he's the only Nigerian player to have been capped 96 times.

I hope the likes of Ighalo, Iheanacho will be considered someday.

I opine that Musa have proven to be worthy to be included on the list

A good list. However, I would rather replace Ambrose with Eguavoen. And I think Henry Nwosu and Yakubu Aiyegbeni deserve to b on the reserve list and also Ike Shoromu as d 3rd choice keeper.
