Bit unfair to say it was wasted. Curtis got up really well and his header was cleared off the line.

As Nigeria doesn't (or didn't at the time ) require births to be registered like a lot of third world countries ages are always very,very approximate. It has always been believed that Kanu was at least 4 yrs older if not more than his stated birth date.

Lol there is no way on earth Kanu was 30 when he joined us. He would have been nearer 40

Aggh the difference is African years about x 1.5 so approx 45!

promotion sides always include a core of experience. From watching us down the years, they are the ones who help hold on to the one nil wins that get you promoted. I can still picture Merse making "get the ball" gestures every time we scored.

The rumours of Kanu's age are all bollox ... he looked older and ran like an older man by the time he was with us because of his heart condition. But if you seek out photos of him as a 19 year old at Ajax he could not possible be any older than 19, in fact he looks younger. Nigerian birth certificates are not 100% safe by any means, particularly in rural areas, but he was born in one of the big cities in Nigeria and no reason to doubt his. I was lucky enough to meet him in the Victory Suite once, and he was telling anyone that asked that this age was correct but he was happy to play along with the myth becuase he thought the song was funny. |
