Papillo.... Retire those braids and embrace baldness or.... Get a hair transplant from Turkey.

Kanu of Atlanta 96 Olympics. Watching highlights... Love their jersey. Thankfully China brought it back.

He did nothing for Nigeria Olympic Gold is not cup but medal, Afcon win 1994 he was on the bench all through, Afcon and world cup no single goal, so what did he really did for Nigeria? This man is the over hype footballer of all time
