Rasheed Yekinini was a giant among strikers in Africa. His sublime skills, though grossly underated at the time, were a forerunner to the skills players of today display. He lived ahead of his times and we miss him dearly today. But his footprints and legacy in Nigeria and Africa , nay the whole world , are everlasting. Continue to rest in peace.
African Footballer of the Year 1993. With his prolific goal scoring, he single handedly took Nigeria to her first World cup in 1994. In those days a Super Eagles match is not complete until he scores a brace. RIP Rashidi Yekini
I was recently watching a history of one former ethiopian player whose career came to an end after physically collided with this nigerian giant Yekini That's why I came to discover this video and enjoyed very much
I used to live close to a place where he came to train in Ibadan. And I heard any time he makes a run toward the goal the keeper usually runs away because of his shot. You don't want to get hit with one of those in your face. It's K.O. or a career-ending injury.
So potent and prolific. We've never had another striker like this great man. He doesn't trap the ball first before firing home like most of our strikers do today leading to them loosing the ball to opposing defenders.
Allahuma Yarhamu Rashid Yekini. He was great player and best goal scorer for his country Nigeria.
The guy has 487 goals, so he is right. They say Roger milla is the top scorer and he has 479 goals.
What we lost in Rashidi, we are gradually gaining back in osimhen. May his soul continue to rest in peace.

Yekini was faster than Ronaldo ❤
He was as tall as electric poles 👀
It’s just a shame that many of his goals were recorded using a potato.
