DeRay98: I completely agree with you but between Rufai and Enyeama, I will pick Rufai because of his unrivaled presence of mind and game control. Rufai could also add that needed razzmatazz especially when the going gets tough. He was a complete delight to watch at his peak. Kindly watch Rufai against Algeria, the semifinal match at Marco 88. Enyeama is good, perhaps slight more reassuring than Rufai but he lacked that total presence of mind like Rufai at his peak. 1 Like |

Ike Shorounmu retired from the super eagles after the 2002 world cup; he played from 1992-2002 not 2000-2009. He played second fiddle to Rufai for almost a decade. I think that's why he didn't make up to 40 appearances |

robosky02: How old are you? Did you watch Abiodun Baruwa when he played for Kano Pillars? Or when he played for Shooting Stars? Did you watch him when he saved 3 penalties in the 1995 All African Games third place match against Algeria? Baruwa was only dropped from the Atlanta 1996 squad because of age discrepancy, not because of performance. So don't come here to bamboozle your fellow indomie generation by spreading lies. Baruwa was one of our best. 2 Likes |

robosky02: I saw little of Ogedengbe and so have faint memories of his heroics.I was not much of a football follower then. Though I learnt from my elder siblings that he was a very tricky goalie. One that could smartly pull back a ball that had crossed the goal line and claim it was no goal Ogedengbe's problem started from the 1982 AFCON hosted in Libya. We had a dismal outing at that AFCON as we crashed out at the group stage. Peter Rufai, a younger goalies was drafted into the team in 1983. (We then as children used to call him Peter Rufive. Five as in 5) I saw the start and end of Peter Rufai. From the 1984 AFCON which was his maiden competition to France 98 World Cup which was his last. Rufai was excellent. U could hardly beat him with long range shots. His dives were second to none. He was at a time during the 1988 AFCON nicknamed 'the Flying Roof'. Also his kicks were like long range free-kicks that go straight into opponents 18yards box. For all his heroics his weakness was close range headers. Oh I will not forget Mitchelle Basole of CIV, Nigeria vs Ivory coast, 1994 AFCON semi. And it became worse as he aged. Rufai was known for fantastic saves that we'll shout 'Rufailaaaa!!!! or some would say Rufiiiii!!!!!or other would say roof! roof! roof!.But he also conceded some cheap goals and we would be like "wetin do Rufai?" Vincent Enyeama is Nigeria's best Goalie. He is more complete than Peter Rufai. I need not describe Enyeama here because I know we all, even the youngest person here, know him wella. 4 Likes |

stagger: Bros take am easy. I know Abiodun Baruwa aka "Omo Alhaja" very well. A fantasic goalie destined for greatness. He was supposed to replace Peter Rufai but e be like say dem dey follow him from village. First the age discrepancy prio to '96 Olympics and then that friendly prio to France '98: Nigeria 1 : 5 Holland. O the Dutch so messed Baruwa up. Baruwa just dey jump dey fall for ground like pregnant woman. He was already getting too fat. Then also Nigeria 0 : 3 Yugoslavia. Baruwa wan turn Messi for field dem collect ball for him leg score us. Peter Rufai was called back from retirement to keep goal at France '98. That was the end of Abiodun Baruwa. 1 Like |

Peter Rufai still remains the best Nigerian goal keeper of all times, he was more formidable in Morocco 88. |

Icon4s: To me, Abiodun Baruwa, while in his element, was a FANTASTIC goalkeeper. Regardless of his growing belly, dude was as agile as a Cat and was very hard to beat between the sticks. He singlehandedly picked 3SC, time and again, by the bootstraps in their Winners Cup march to the finals, what year was that again ? In fact, he was so good that at a point I felt he used Juju. He was truly destined for greatness and I thought he should have achieved far more despite the clangers he committed in the friendlies prior to France 98. |
