Today, March 2nd 2008 Yakubu grabbed a brace to help give Everton a 3-1 win over Portsmouth. Many soccer fans have mixed feelings about Yakubu and are not attracted to his playing style. However when the end of the season rolls around he usually posts big numbers and his club is usually in a nice spot on the table. The bottom line, the Yak delivers.
Yakubu has been around for a long time. He was part of the 2000 Olympic team and scored some important goals during the qualification matches. He was a favorite of the Olympic and National Team coach Shaibu Amodu. Amodu played Yakubu whenever he could ... meanwhile the rest of us fans were NOT sold on this guy. I can say now that the proof is in the pudding and Yakubu has proved his doubters wrong.
He is a striker that relishes the one on one chance. In these situations he will always win. So note the the Super Eagles - FEED THE YAK!
