FA Cup Final, Kanu Sends Pompey To Europe

I like it when a brother climbs up through the ranks to the top and stays there. I am not overly patriotic here, but come on guys, Nwankwo Kanu has seen it all in football. He has played for the smallest and biggest clubs in Europe. Ajax, Inter Milan, Arsenal, you name them, and has made his mark on footballing sands.
He was even told his playing career was over when he was diagnosed with a congenital heart disease, but he survived the surgery and made it back to the playing field, and today he takes Portsmouth to Eufa cup.
He scored in the only goal in the semi-final, and today he also scored the goal that gives Portsmouth only their second FA Cup win in their entire history.
You know, sometimes, football is not power, it is in the brain, and Kanu has over the years shown what an intelligent player he is. This is one for my countrymen to ponder over, how come that a player that we have so many times written off as being too fragile come up to deliver the goods for not his club, but his country too.
As a Nigerian, today is a special day for me.
