Why is Ikechukwu Uche not in this list? Incomplete List!!!

Mutiu adepoju ??....who is taye taiwo,osaze,mikel where the 'headmaster' is? & how is taye taiwo higher than agha'wonder' on d list,what has taiwo don't 4 our national teams

gister3:
1. Nwankwo Kanu
2. Austin Okocha
3. Sunday Oliseh
4. Rashidi Yekini

They are on drugs!!!

1. Austin Okocha
2. Rashidi Yekini
3. Nwankwo Kanu

They even had Amuneke above Finidi? I would even have Celestine Babayaro above Amuneke. He should be far higher than where he is at the moment.

The drugs in Nigeria is bad.

Where is Emma Osigwe?
Where is Alloysius blockbuster Atuegbu?
Where is Moses Otolorin?
Moses Otolorin scored the goals that won IICC shooting stars the defunct Africa Cup winners cup in 1976. He was a goal machine.
Where is Kunle Awesu?
Where is Christian Madu?
Does it mean those who did not play pro football or do not have press men to trumpet their achievements should not be on this list?

Where is Samuel Okwaraji?

Syenite: Where is Samuel Okwaraji?

He wasn't a great footballer.

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

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

At what level did Chidi Nwanu play that you want to compare him with Taye Taiwo?

That is like comparing one of the Sodje brothers with Yobo.

Is it the number of years or the quality of years, your talent and your achievements? How many Nigerian players have done better than Mikel?

Incomplete List!

Not a pundit, but looking for Chris Ohehen (must have mis-spelt the surname)

OK...'em try!

Funny list. Yisa Shofoluwe actually appears twice, at 35 and 41. Not impressed.

[size=14pt]where is joseph dosu?[/size]

Mtchewww! Yeye list.

Taiye Taiwo ahead of Celestine Babayaro?

Stupid list.

what of dombraye

Where is IBB- ''Nigerian maradona''?

kanu #1 for sure

Who is Supersports? :/

My guess is that the list is not in order

Sagamite:

They are on drugs!!!

1. Austin Okocha
2. Rashidi Yekini
3. Nwankwo Kanu

They even had Amuneke above Finidi? I would even have Celestine Babayaro above Amuneke. He should be far higher than where he is at the moment.

The drugs in Nigeria is bad.

Was it listed in ascending order or just randomly?Even if it was, it's still Supersport's opinion. The only thing i will agree with is that Jay jay Okocha and Kanu nwankwo are the greatest Nigerian players ever.

where is Okparaji ??

Sagamite:

He wasn't a great footballer.

lol

You may be right though. people often confuse the fact that some people have been put in history books because of an event to mean that these people were one of the best eg Abiola etc

List compiled by a drunk MTN staff in Soweto. Absolute nonsense.

Number 35 and number 41 on your list appear to be the same person

Well, shebi na naija best and not world best

How come one person claimed 2 positions YISA SHOLOFUWE "35" "41"

Where is sunday Oliseh
Samuel okparaji
Siasia
