When names of some of Africa’s greatest strikers are mentioned, the likes of Roger Milla, George Weah, Abedi ‘Pele’ Ayew and Nigeria’s Rashidi Yekini come to mind. These men thrived in the 80s and 90s, demonstrating considerable attacking prowess and terrorising Africa's defences.
In the 21st century, Didier Drogba, Samuel Eto’o and Asamoah Gyan are among the continent's top picks, but Yakubu Aiyegbeni also deserves consideration among these all-time classic African hotshots.
Happy birthday to one of Nigeria's fierce strikers, Yakubu Aiyegbeni!
He also announces his retirement today!
