Former Nigeria international Sunday Oliseh has named seven legends who made him fall in love with the national team.

Oliseh was reacting to a post from the official X handle of the Super Eagles on Sunday.

The original tweet read: “On this day in 1980, we won our first-ever AFCON.

“It’s been 45 years of glory! Celebrating Nigeria’s AFCON triumphs.

“From 1980, 1994, to 2013, the Super Eagles have soared to greatness, etching Nigeria’s name in African football history!

“Today, we honour the legendary heroes who paved the way—lifting the trophy, inspiring generations, and making Nigeria proud!

“To every fan who has stood by the team through victories and challenges—this is for you!”

In response, Oliseh wrote: “This team was hugely responsible for my love of the Super Eagles’ green-white-green colours: Odegbami, Chukwu, Okala, Atuegbu, Muda Lawal, Nwosu, Owo Blow…

“They all had technical prowess, strength, and style… Naija sabi do things with style sha!”
