      I'm not Nigerian but it's because of him I'm also a Gooner. Arsenal were blessed with African or French legends and I hope we can get some more future legends from the African continent along with our homegrown players.

      Apparently in his first season when he would score and the Arsenal fans would sing Kanuuuuuu!!!! When he scored at first he thought they was booing him lol until he realised thats what they would shout when we appreciated him scoring his great goals. Arsenal great. He one the double and part of the unbeaten season in his last year ❤

    The first time I saw Kanu play, it was after he'd retired- a charity legends friendly vs Milan in 2016. I've since been mesmerized by those moments of magic in the 90s, but I will always remember him jogging onto the pitch at 40, and casually bossing Cafu and Albertini like he was in the garden with his kids.
