Let us not forget that Kanu moved to Arsenal and achieved all this after a Heart surgery. He was a star for Nigeria at the Olympics, Inter Milan, Ajax before the heart surgery. Even Ronaldo De Lima said Kanu made football look easy during their Inter Milan days. If he was completely healthy, he could have been more dangerous upfront. The heart surgery slowed him down later. After the 1996 Olympics, with the array of stars in the world, Kanu was named the 6th best player worldwide. This information is for those who started watching Kanu from 1999 and thought he was average. You saw him when he was going down
This was also part of a 17 match unbeaten run against Chelski before the Abramovich era. Dixon, Petit, Kanu and Overmars mixing it up with our soon to be "betters" gives me chills. We owned them for so long and now we aren't even in the same league.
They constantly forget things. Willfully. Things like whether they have any history to speak of, or that their poop stinks. They think they're the greatest!
@@jeehanandez5286what did Drogba to Arsenal do other than score against Arsenal like he did against other teams? This right here puts an end to a record streak of home clean sheets and wins. That's the difference here.
Kanu was one of the most dangerous player of his days, very unpredictable but his style of football is a complete made in 9ja, we play from the street to stadium.
Watching this game after so many years, only made me appreciate the genius and giftedness of Kanu. He was A strong, hearty and creative striker. Like someone said earlier, he was unpredictable as a player. U never know what he'll do with the ball in front of goal. May God bless NIGERIA.
Kanu was amazing from 98-01. Love how he would sit down keepers and pass it in. Quality! His performances were not as good after that, plus limited game time, but he played a big part till 04. Loved the celebration of him jumping over Wiltord at Old Trafford in that title winning goal. Will never be forgotten by the Arsenal fans, he’s a loved player for sure. As the Arsenal fans sung his name when he scored for us. Kkaannuuuuuu!!!!!! ❤️ Great footballer for the Arsenal.
@@oduneriayo never regretted a thing... one of the happiest days of my life... being a gunner is a privilege and i am happy to be part of this club... #coyg
King Kan-uuu.. They dnt make guys like this no more! Kan-uuu had a heart condition. Achieved a lot more & played with more heart than the best of them💯
Kanu is a wonder boy; creating possibilities when impossibility is written everywhere. Only an enemy will deny him of his Legend-hood. Papilo is simply a master Legend.
Every Nigerian boy that played "monkey post" knows 1 or 5 Kanus; those boys that never ran to fast, or put too much strength into it, just smooth cutting and sublime skills.
I remember watching this at the bar of the hotel I was briefly staying and that third goal looked like a mirage. KAN-U-BELIEVE IT was all I needed to hear to conclude that it was goal and not a side net. I feared Chelsea was going to bounce back but it was too late. 15-minutes of Kanu’s genius brain and legwork. A team where Thiery Henry sits on the bench was one to beat. I think the Liverpool comeback (Asharvin) was the closest and perhaps the Reading (Carling Cup) comeback gives me that feel.
@@flamboyentpromotions3471 He was shite and instantly forgettable at Arsenal. Great elsewhere, but his best days were long gone by the time he arrived at Highbury.
Kanu moved to Arsenal with a heart condition and yet was a marksman upfront, he was even more a beast before his condition. He was an invisible "invincible"... LEGEND ❤
Remember that game so well. Kanu really was a great striker but did not play always with Arsenal blessed with so many excellent forward players at that time. Great Arsenal history
He didn't play all the time because after signing for Arsenal, he developed a heart condition, he played all through with that condition which eventually slowed him down. What a legend.
This was part if the reason I fell In love with Arsenal.. Have I been disappointed and heartbroken by arsenal many tines yes but I can't still understand why I am still holding on to the club
It's at 1:20 suddenly you see him there immense one great legend a singular man intensely strong a true man in the hearts of many : Gianluca Vialli forever ❤
I remember as a kid watching the old BBC vidiprinter on final score the last 25 mins Chelsea 2 Arsenal 1 kanu 71 Chelsea 2 Arsenal 2 kanu 76 Chelsea 2 Arsenal 3 kanu 89 I will always remember that game it was a 3pm kick off on a Saturday aswell unusual for a Chelsea vs Arsenal match COYG
Nwankwo Kanu one the greats of football. His talent was something you could not teach and put to bed that often baseless notion created in England that very tall men cannot have nimble feet. Kanu a true Igbo son.

Top falou tudo, kanu meu segundo maior ídolo mundial atrás apenas do brasileiro Rivaldo.
Watch him in Ajax man was a beast
Exactly my dude. He was absolutely world-class and just mesmerising. His hold-up play as a centre-forward was just another level!@alexanderharris9651
Sensational player. Legendary player not afraid of big moments.
Preach
Chelsea fans would never forget the name nwankwo kanu, the hat trick that stole a 7 month perfect home record

You are 💯% correct 👍🏽
He had great close ball control and his foot was size 15 ? … Nigerian Superstar… Kanu Big love for London 💯
I think he made a lot of Nigerians into Arsenal fans. Reminds when I see a lot of South Koreans at Tottenham games
@Adonai.G true true 😂
Being a former Ajax player, Kanu's technical ability was exceptional.
The man who makes( things in )Football to looks SIMPLE AND CALM!
Henry on the bench and Kanu on the pitch says a lot about his football brilliance!
Wasn't this the real early days of henry though
Kanu já era uma estrela e henry estava só começando. Abraço

I remember this game the commentator was saying KANU 3 Chelsea 2
Kanu's third goal was simply superb
Kanu was brilliant.
We were two goals down Arsenal but what a great performance from Arsenal and from my man Kanu.
It's beyond description... The legend of Kanu..
Ojhhhh can u believe it. Kanu has flattened Chelsea. What a commentator
My heart nearly stopped when that went in
I went ballistic ….. listening to the the commentary still gives me goosebumps
What a comeback! What a hattrrick! What a player! What a club! #Kanu #Nwakwo #Papillon❤️💪💪

Imagine Nwankwo Kanu, Thierry Henry and Davor Suker all playing in the same Arsenal attack? Just wow!
One thing about Wenger... he loves attacking football 🤣
Suker was shite for Arsenal.
And Overmars
@@GreenSaxon wasnt shite jist older not in his peak
@@flamboyentpromotions3471 He was shite and instantly forgettable at Arsenal. Great elsewhere, but his best days were long gone by the time he arrived at Highbury.
When arsenal where the pride of London.kanun an arsenal legend.
"This is simply extraordinary!" Simple was never a word used about Kanu's mesmerising abilities but extraordinary definitely was 😊
Kanu 1.97m de puro talento e esse terceiro gol dele sem ângulo cara foi esplêndido.
Chelsea 2 - Kanu 3. I remember seeing this live on my TV, I could not believe it then... I still don't believe today. 😮😮😮😮😮
Kanu moved to Arsenal with a heart condition and yet was a marksman upfront, he was even more a beast before his condition. He was an invisible "invincible"... LEGEND ❤

Chelsea and Arsenal both played great games.
Kanu's performance is unbelievable.
One of my favorite player ❤
I paused the video, just to “Chelsea 2, Kanu 3) 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I was watching this game live.
Remember that game so well. Kanu really was a great striker but did not play always with Arsenal blessed with so many excellent forward players at that time. Great Arsenal history

Kanu to the World 🇳🇬
Kanu one of my favorite football players of all time.

We are coming back
Trust me !!!!
Am grateful to God for watching nwankwo kanu🇳🇬 playing during his prime...a real football era🙌👏⚽
Don't be prat. There is no god
Kanu one of the most underrated players in history.
That pitch is mad, imagine a premier league pitch like that now. Also I had forgotten that Le Saux could actually be a nightmare to defend against.
I will Never forget this Game, Salute to KANU unplayable that day! 🔴⚪
Kanu always dance with ball and he can make keeper sit down with his dancing skill
KANU believe it?!
Kanu loved playing Chelsea.
Kanu a dangerous player 😢
Funny how our memories can be unreliable at times. I could’ve sworn Kanu came on as a sub for this match
I thoght that too but he stated apparently
I would have say the same thing too
I thought so too. And I’m sure another video of this match shows him coming on in the second half 🤔
i remember someone saying he came on with 15 mins left
The Mandela effect. I always thought he was subbed on in this game but apparently he was playing in the first half.
Chelsea 2 Kanu 3 I remember that on the back pages of newspapers in the morning great game
Kanu was the most underrated player of his time at Arsenal and I don't understand why.
Because he makes difficult thing seem easy.
Starlet performance at that!, Bravo invincible Kanu.

Kanu the great....i remember watching this game live on tv. Celebrated so hard broke my mum's furniture
Best hat trick I’ve seen
This will always be remembered KANU NWANKWO
Never forget the day
Times when players were men at arsenal. The greatest of all turfs Highbury park. Where Wenger was still in his younger years
Henry starting on the bench is crazy 😂
And Kanu performance shows why
Kanu já era uma estrela e henry estava só começando amigo.
I watched that game on Channels tv
Good ol' days
Live
Or MITV
Definitely live
And on Monday we could not stop talking about it in class.
I will never forget this much
Why did the picture quality turn crappy for Kanu's 3rd goal? Did someone switch to filming with a potato?
Meu segundo e terceiro maior ídolo do futebol está nesse jogo e fizeram gols, maravilhoso. O nigeriano Kanu e o norueguês Flo.
unforgettable moment of kanu
KANUuuuuuuuuuuu believe it!!!! What a player 😉
That was a big comeback
Kanu should’ve been arrested for this humiliation
"KAN-U" Believe it? 😁
What a come back excellent Arsene Wenger team
The King Kanu, what a player he was.
When Arsenal were the kings of London. Good times.
Smart man to get Kanu's shirt after that performance.
Legend kanu ❤
I was there….in the Chelsea end 🙂
What a birthday present from Kanu to Arsene Wenger
Arsene Wenger looked young and handsome at 50.
Papilo exceptional talent

KAAN U BELIEVE IT !
It's a shame (and odd) that the highlights didn't show the build up to Kanu's brilliant third goal. I've seen it on shorter footage.
This was a Kanu hat trick, the synopsis of the match is incorrect.
KAN U Believe it😊😊😊😊
Kanu is underrated ❤
