Yakubu Aiyegbeni retires: Four things the world won't forget about the Nigerian

After two decades of incessant bullying, endless torture and habitual havoc-wrecking on opposition defences, Yakubu Aiyegbeni has called time on his playing career. On Wednesday, he had this to say: "I would like to officially announce my retirement from professional football today.'' Clubless since leaving Coventry City in April, the colossal Nigerian waited until his 35th birthday to break the silence.

A beast of a striker, Yakubu was willing to prey on defenders who dared get between him and the net. Unsurprisingly, as he was programmed that way by Harry Redknapp shortly after touching down in England. “Harry makes you believe that you can kill a defender, even when you play against the big teams," Yakubu admitted.

Not only has the production been low, but his injuries are mounting. A nagging ankle hampered Ansah in 2016 and this season has been plagued by a knee issue. The past two games he’s been inactive with a bad back.
