Fifa legend Ayegbeni shares throwback picture at Portsmouth

The former Nigeria international striker reminisced on his memory at then Premier League outfit, Portsmouth

Fifa legend Yakubu Ayegbeni posted a throwback picture of him at English outfit, Portsmouth.

After an impressive spell at Maccabi Haifa, where he scored seven times in eight European Cup appearances in 2002-03 season, which included a treble against Olympiacos.

The bulky forward joined the English team initially on loan; however, he completed a permanent switch after helping Harry Redknapp’s team earn an English top-flight berth.

In his maiden English top-flight outing, he featured in 37 of Pompey’s 38 games in 2003–04, scoring 16 goals which made him the club's leading goalscorer, and the joint-sixth highest scorer.
