Did Ade Akinbyi declare for Nigeria? I know he just about managed to score in the premier league.
Did a Sodje ever score in the Premier League? Sam? Efe?

Who's the guy at Newcastle by way of Chelsea? Came from Porto? No idea if he's even Nigerian and his name is completely escaping me.
Christian Atsu is the guy you are thinking of. He has scored 3 PL goals, but he's Ghanaian.
Taribo West
Kelvin Etuhu
George Ndah
Now you mention Kelvin Etuhu, I'm pretty sure Dickson Etuhu scored some for Fulham.
I think I've asked this twice before, always in the middle of existing list questions. Might as well go for a third time.
Name the two national sides that have each other as their biggest win and biggest defeat.
Is one of them Vietnam?
Nope. Asian, though.
Biggest win
Japan 15–0 Philippines
(Tokyo, Japan; 27 September 1967)
Biggest defeat
Japan 2–15 Philippines
(Tokyo, Japan; 10 May 1917)[5]
I googled China and then thought it couldn't be one of the big nations.
Yeah, probably I bit too random to guess - unless you click through each nation one-by-one.I googled China and then thought it couldn't be one of the big nations.
Pretty much neglected to update this over the weekend, most of the lists I've got I've left on the work PC.
Both Kelvin and Dickson scored in the PL. Just 4 Nigerians left to get, and here are the clubs they scored for:
3 - (Stoke City, Hull City)
1 - (Brighton and Hove Albion)
1 - (Watford)
1 - (QPR)
Balogun
Scored less than a minute after coming on for Brighton against Palace.
I'm sure Watford had someone called Okaka who scored against Liverpool on the opening day a few years ago, was he Nigerian?
Italian, born to Nigerian parents. He had a loan spell at Fulham too after scoring against us in the Europa League.
Seyi Olufanjana (sp?)
Combative midfielder for Stoke and Hull
Close enough, Olofinjana is correct. Just 2 left, both defenders.
Shittu
Taiwo.

Victor Moses has played for fucking Liverpool? That had swum out of my memory.
He was on loan from Chelsea in that season.
I think it swum out of many Liverpool fans memory too in fairness. As a side note, I'm not buying the fact that he's under 30. Like fuck he is.
It was before he was a wing back too.
I'm a twit
