PORTSMOUTH boss, Avram Grant, has said that Super Eagles skipper, Nwankwo Kanu would continue to play football until he attains the age of 51.

Grant stated this after Kanu inspired Portsmouth to victory over Hull City by scoring the third goal to seal a 3-2 win last Saturday at the Fratton Park.

He hailed the Nigerian international insisting that he would be of help for the Super Eagles at the World Cup in South Africa.

"I think he will play until he is 51. That is in two years," Grant joked about Kanu's age. He said: "You see Kanu, he is not running as fast as before and he is not in the physical condition of before.

"He's not young any more. But he is clever.

"His movement for his goal was unbelievable, he was at the right place at the right time.

The Atlanta ’96 Olympics gold medallist came off the bench on Saturday to swoop for the winner.

With the World Cup just three months away, the coach of the Premier League side says Kanu can play for two more years.

The goal is Kanu's second for the season in the English Premier League for Portsmouth. He was part of Nigeria's team to the last Africa Nations Cup held in Angola where he played limited role.

He is however, expected to lead the Super Eagles to the World Cup in South Africa despite growing criticism by a section of Nigerian fans who are calling for his exclusion from the team.

Although this sounds like a joke from the Pompey Boss, one wonders if he knows something about Papillo's real age that we don't know abt! In any event, the goal by Papillo was magnificent, and he may very well have some roles to play in the coming World Cup in SA.

'many a true word spoken in jest'
