How did Yekini end? He made his debut for the super eagles in 1985, retired from the National team after the 1998 World Cup. He gave us 14 years. Silver Algiers 90, Bronze Senegal 92, Gold Tunisia 94. Two golden boots - 92 and 94. African footballer of the year 1993. He went to 2 world cups. Scored in 94, our first goal ever at a world cup. He is still our highest goal scorer till date. It was obvious that the 96 Olympic team would make the bulk of the world cup squad. Ikpeba was African footballer of the year, Ligue 1 winner with Monaco, he was going to lead the attack at 25 years old. Kanu was also coming through the ranks. Yekini was on the bench at 35 years old. Even when it was said that the team ganged up against him at the 1994 world cup, he remain gracious, humble and respectful to his coaches and team mates. A perfect example of team player. He is the greatest striker to ever wear the no 9 Jersey.
