John Fashanu has described Bernard Bulbwa’s goal that sealed Nigeria 7th
Africa Youth Championship trophy, as the best ever by a Nigerian player
on the international scene.
Bulbwa scored the lone goal for Nigeria, a well taken volley on the turn after a flick control to beat host Senegal 1-0 and already the goal has being tipped as the goal of the tournament.
However the man who captained Wimbledon FC for 10 years, believes the goal carries more than just a tournament best goal tag and should be in contention for the FIFA Puskas award, for best goal of the year.
"I have watched it over and over again and the technique behind the goal was sublime, exquisite and perfectly showed class" He told SL10.ng
"To me it's more than the best goal of the tournament it's more to me, as it is the best goal scored ever by a Nigerian at any International meet.
"I will be damn if that goal doesn't make the cut for the FIFA goal of the year award, what's his name again? Bulbwa right? That is a special goal".
He went on to say Nigerians and especially the Nigeria Football Federation need make the world know about the strike, that it will further enhance the chance of it making the cut for the best goal of the year.
"When David Beckham scored the goal that announced him to the world if not for the press it wouldn't have gone that far, now it's the time for Nigerians to do same about Bulbwa's goal.
"Proper promotion of the goal by the NFF and fans of Nigeria football will aid the young man cause to see his goal nominated among the best goals of the year 2015.
