The 2009 FIFA U17 World Cup was Hosted in Nigeria and it is a tournament I will never forget in my life, it is not because it is the only FIFA hosted tournament i got to see with my eyes but because of the unforgettable event that happened.

Nothing bad happened, but the fact that my darling country Nigeria, a clear favourite to win the tournament failed to do so against Underdogs Switzerland spearheaded by Granit Xhaka, Haris Seferović and Nasim Ben-Khalifa.

Well, I have recovered from the shock, it’s already 8 years. So I will be taking my time to remember the stars that was produced during that tournament in Nigeria, I really don’t want to name much so I will be naming the obvious names, I mean the players that still ply their trades with top clubs in Europe.

While compiling the names I found out that there is only 23 of them who is still a house hold name today, here is my 23-man list below, feel free to add yours if you feel there is someone who deserves to be on the list and is not.
