RASHIDI YEKINI won it all the African Footballer of the Year award, the greatest Nigerian goal-scorer of all time and the first Super Eagle to score at the World Cup finals.
His goals powered his country to their first Nations Cup triumph in 14 years, at Tunisia ’94, where he bagged the tournament’s Golden Ball and Golden Shoe awards, given to best player and top-scorer.
He remains just one of four African players, to win the Golden Boot in a European league, after his 21 goals during the 1993/1994 season for Vitória Setubal in Portugal.
“Rashidi Yekini was well into his 31st year when Nigeria arrived at the 1994 World Cup,” noted the British newspaper, The Guardian, in June 2014, to mark the 20th anniversary, of the golden moment, when Yekini scored the Super Eagles’ first World Cup goal.
