Unfortunately the modern game has very few out and out strikers....think of the strikers in Yekini's era - strikers like Batistuta, Zamorano, Titi Camara, Alan Shearer... Maybe Haaland and a handful of others are The closest to that ...

It used to be a delight to watch Nigeria play. Then, no matter the opposition, it wasn't a question of whether Nigeria would win. It was a question of by how many goals!
