    Legend! I had goose bumps while reading this.

    A few years ago, i voted Kanu as the most influential Nigerian living in the UK. I wrote an epistle on why i chose him. He came second. Chiwetal Ejiofor came first (only that he lives in America!)

    If i was in Nigeria, i would have definitely gone for the match.
