GRAPHITTI NEWS report continues:
For those of our readers too young to remember the man nicknamed "Gabo", Christian Madu was the player that the Mathematical Segun Odegbami, himself a genius with the ball, in 2010, named as one of the top 50 Nigeria footballers ever and one of the best in the 70’s.
On record, Odegbami said, “The Midfield in the 70’s saw the first generation of exceptionally gifted midfield players. Mudashiru Lawal, Christian Madu, Sani Mohammed, Stanley Okoronkwo, Alloysius Atuegbu, Haruna Ilerika - all were football artists and magicians on the ball. But there is no disputing Haruna's exceptional dribbling skills and creativity, and Muda Lawal's immaculate ball control, tireless running, pin-point accurate passing and his goalscoring ability.
They both ruled the Nigerian creative midfield through most of the decade, with the support of Alloysius Atuegbu, Felix Agbonifo for Bendel Insurance mostly, Christian Madu and Stanley Okoronkwo for brief periods. Henry Nwosu and Sylvanus Okpala came in at the tail end of that decade.”
Considering that Odgebami is the only Nigerian to be named on CAF’s team of the century surely then he must know a thing or two about who was truly great.
