Probably was in the Nigerian boxing squad as well,going on the fact that he seemed to punch everything that came his way.

Amazing when you think about it.

 

How many non league teams can boast having Two Olympic gold medal winning goalkeepers??!!

 

We had another Olympian. Canadian guy called Justin Thompson who played one game a few seasons ago. Wasn't very good though.

[and1inthetree]

a country that produced bryan adams, celine dion and avril fckn lavigne is unlikely to produce any good footballers.

 

although didn't we have a canadian 2 seasons back? polish sounding name. przwykkykykzzwwkkw or something spelt similar? pete christened him 'unpronouncable'

some big names in that squad. they were all good players who were quality cheap players on champ manager back in the day.

[NickR]

The player Mobi Oparaku(not Obaraku) you have listed had a trial with West Ham years ago and I saw him play in a pre season friendly.

 

He didn't like me very much when I asked his name after the game(he wasn't listed in the programme).

 

He told me and I started laughing and 'said why do they call you a parrot??'
