Godfrey Oboabona

Oboabona is the kind of player whose value never shows up in a highlight reel. A 186 cm centre-back out of Akure, he made his name doing the unglamorous work at the back for Nigeria, the stuff fans only notice when it goes wrong. I have a soft spot for these defensive craftsmen who travel from the African scene to Europe and stake their careers on physical sacrifice rather than goals. The data on him here is thin, but the shape of his story tells you plenty: a quiet anchor of a man who let others take the spotlight while he kept the house in order. That earns my respect.
