See as the numbers dey very small
Africa lacks clinical strikers

You skipped Aboubakar who scored 8 goals.

Rahkman:
You forgot Stephen okechukwu keshi, first player to win afcon as a player and coach legend!

Gohari of Egypt also did. Before Keshi actually

Nice one

Jokerman:
Where's Nwankwo Kanu and Mohammed Abu Treka and Mustapha Hadji?

Parydelegate:
Osimeh no dy?

omoteacher:
I was about asking Abou Treka also.... Very good local talent from Egypt. Ended Rigobeth Song int'l football career in that AFCON final.

Lumarstone:
Does it mean the likes of George Wear, KANU Nwankwo Michael Essien, Emmanuel Lualua, Emmanuel Adebayo etc do not registered their names in African football history?

May the soul of Samuel Okparaji continue to RIP..!

I left..!

The 1980 Cup donated by MKO remains goated

super falcons has more hightest goal scorers and more number of goals too.

If only we went to the tournament with a competent midfielder Osimhen or lookman would have been highest scorer in canada raptors. I prayed before the next edition we would have discover a better one than that man who messed up our midfield

The 1980 Cup donated by MKO remains goated

The 1980 trophy (the African Unity Trophy) was donated by the Supreme Council for Sports in Africa (an organ of the Organisation of African Unity). Abraham Ordia was its president at the time (he was my dad's friend).


The trophy that Chief MKO Abiola donated to CAF was thr CAF Cup (aka MKO Abiola Cup). This was contested by clubsides that came between 2nd to 5th in their leagues between 1992 and 2004.
