Agha Wonder
the Sweden goal happened on a sunday I still remember
Mere lookn at his face portrays no nonsense guy
Alwyz for d business on d pitch to d best of his ability
kind of guys to b in d super eagles
The man the myth the legend was absolutely brilliant on championship manager
He some how didnt last for long bse of many quality players at the time BUT AGAHOWA HAD THE BEST FINISHING BY FAR, LOOK AT THAT GOAL FOREXAMPLE, THEN GOALS AGAINST SENEGAL IN AFCON 2000 WHEN NIGERIA COMPLETELY HAD FAILED TO UNLOCK THE SENEGALESE
He was the perfect replacement of R . Yekini . Injuries didn't allow him to show us all his prowesses and feats. Nevertheless , Victor Osimhen will solve the problem in the attack line of the Super Eagles.
Why didn't you add the exploit he had @ shark tar Donesk where he scored goals. You don't do a biography for someone and close with an anti climax of how he didn't do well towards the end of his career.
