A few youth team keepers looked promising but somehow failed to make the cut later eg: Lemmy Isah; Andrew Aikhuomogbe; Angus Ikeji; Greg Etafia; Bassey Akpan; Dele Aiyenugba, Ambrose Vanzekin; Dosu Joseph (injured) etc |

In terms of achievement, longevity and consistency in action for Nigeria, Vincent Enyeama is #1 and unrivalled. His success has been under appreciated due to the many needless hiccups caused by the ever incompetent NFF. Peter Rufai is next but he seems to have respect than Enyeama because of the fact that he was last of the generation that was in action in days when our league was pulling crowds and Stationery Stores was Lagos fans darling club. Dosu Joseph has no place in top 15. He only kept and won at the Olympics and a few Super Eagles matches later before his accident. Baruwa has no place here either though he had more matches that Disu, he was inconsistent. David Ngodigha, late Wilfred Agbonavbare did great at critical points in WC qualifiers. Agbonavbare only made a mistake in one match in a Wafu Cup in 1984 and Nig lost to Togo 2:4 and the Nig press black mailed him thereafter which many people didn't know what happened but kept rubbishing his name for long. Alloy Agu had Westerhoff's favour with Christian Chukwu's influence from 1986-92. Being young from Flying Eagles of 1985, they hope he would improve but he never did but Westerhoff ignored other options, as far as defence was good he was kept there till his error reached its peak in Senegal "92 Nations Cup semi-final and Nig lost to Ghana. At that time Agbonavbare had been the 2nd Best Goal keeper in Spain for 3yrs but they ignored his performances. Not wanting to risk Agu errors again, Westerhoff brought Wilfred back and kept goal for all the matches in 1994 WC qualifiers and most of the Nations cup qualifying matches. Rufai had been out of football after Maroc "88 Nations cup, he went to school in Spain and came out with Master's degree. By 1993, he was returning to action but rusty. After Nig had qualified for the Nations Cup with 2 matches to spare Rufai was recalled to be tested in the inconsequential mstches and his return started from there. Okala was a collosus mostly to his intimidating height. His time was not that long in the 70s before Ogedengbe displaced him 1980. Ogedengbe time was not that long too. His success in the 1980 NC made him. By 1982, Rufai, Patrick Okala (Emma Okala's younger brother) and the return of Peter Fregene from the cooler displaced Ogedegbe for good. Fregene didn't continue after Libya "82, Pat Okala and Rufai continued to "84 NC. Only Rufai remained from that time till David Ngodigha and Wilfred (from a successful 1983 Flying Eagle). 5 Likes |

FirstCounsel:Including Lucky Agbonasevbaefe (First Golden Eaglets goal keeper China "85). Most of were at the time Rufai, David Ngodigha and Alloy Agu held the SE. While they were good at the junior level in their height, Most Of them were too short, less than 1.82m (6ft) tall except Lucky Agbons exactly 6ft tall. Even Lucky Agbons was told by Westerhoff that he was too short in compared to Rufai and Wilfred (about 6.3ft) tall. Watch YouTube videos, you 'll see all of them in action. 1 Like |
