Hello, I am a Spanish journalist. I am doing an article on Rashidi Yekini. Can you say to me that it he does at present? Does he work? Does he train some team? Does he continue playing?
I would be grateful to you very much for any help. Muchisimas thank you. An embrace of your Spanish friend.

why did this man keep on playing? Didn't he save all his money from playing proffessionally in Europe and invest it?

@camaron
Last time i heard, he was playing for Shooting Stars FC of Ibadan.

I beleive its Carlos Vela, but wait a minute how come almost all handsome players tend to come from arsenal. UP gunners anyway.

pushing wheelbarrows in bodija market

My journalist, with due respect can you come down to nigeria and do your, what you get here might not be authentic. Come and do the investigation yourself.

I heard that he is selling meat in Bodija market from a friend who lives in Ibadan. I want to ask if this is true.

MrCrackles:

Wetin dey laff u ?

I dey miss dis guy pass for our National team . . .

Dr Kitaun:

Thought 'Yakufat' was a proven striker and goal machine abi nah?

na una hero una dey insult like this?

[size=4pt]Udeme [/size]Yekini was a great man

He remained the highest goal scorer for eagles 34 goals, he scored the last in feb 22 ,1998 when Nigeria was preparing for world cup against Jamaica.

How can anybody call El Yekini d goal king a goal mouth scrambler? Go and ask d Kenyan keeper in 1988,Shoubeir in 1994 and countless others.Yekini had speed (despite his 90kg frame),raw power,packd a fierce shot,had grv chest and thigh control of passes and MOST IMPORTANTLY he no dey look face b4 he TEAR SHOT! He was our very own Batigol!

He scored 37 goals for Nigeria

I find some of the comments on this thread rather distasteful; Yekini served Nigeria very well. I am disappointed about the jokes.
Do you hear Argentines making fun of Maradona or Brazilians making fun of Pele?

AK2 and MrCrackles, please do the right thing.

For the chap who says his father told him that Yekini only scored goal-mouth goals, I am sorry but your dad was wrong. Yekini was one of a few footballers who got better with age. He was called gangling because he was ackward. The following were not goal mouth goals:

1. Goal against Algeria (93, WC qualifier) - He scored from the corner flank
2. Goal against Zaire (94, ANC) - Oliseh dispossessed an opponent in the centre circle and found Yekini on the edge of the box with a fifty yard pass. Yekini collected the ball, flicking it with his ankle and dispatched the ball into the top corner of the net with his second touch
3. Near goal against Egypt (94, ANC) - Okocha found Yekini with a 40 yard pass, Yekini, with his back to goal from 40 yards, chested the ball high, turned, juggled the ball with his knee, and unleashed a volley that hit the bar. Even though he didn't score, Schoubier, the Egyptian goalie, paid on a bet that Yekini wouldn't score against him.
4. 4 goals against Burkina Faso in 1991 including a diving header

Go and ask the fans of Vittoria Setubal and Sporting Gijon whether Yekini only scored at the goal-mouth.

@Katsumoto

thanks for that reminder.

its all fun reading through

Rashidi Yekini (of Bounvita Fame), He is still on my Top 10 of the best No 9s to ever play the game

We miss your purposeful, no-nonsense goal sense. I dare any body to parry your shot less catch it on a good day
