In a recent interview with Oma Sports TV, Super Eagles defender Bright Osayi-Samuel opened up about the players who shaped his footballing worldview.
The former Fenerbahçe man highlighted the enduring legacy of Jay-Jay Okocha and Joseph Yobo, noting that their photos are still displayed prominently at the Turkish club’s training grounds.
While he praised Nwankwo Kanu’s Premier League brilliance and Vincent Enyeama’s goalkeeping, he also paid tribute to the late Rashidi Yekini.
Though Osayi-Samuel never watched him play live, he credited his father for teaching him about the striker’s legendary status in Nigerian history.
