Keshiiii
Stephen Keshi was one man who achieved a number of feats in his lifetime that are extremely noteworthy. His foray into the African football circle earned him many accolades and endeared him to numerous people both within and outside of the country. A lot of people do not even remember how incredible this great man was so we decided to shine some light on three times Keshi earned and cemented the title of legend, something he truly was.
1. Clinching the 1994 Nations Cup trophy

Keshi captained the Super Eagles team, which had the likes of Sunday Oliseh, Austin Eguavoen, Samson Siasia, Daniel Amokachi, Rashidi Yekini and JJ Okocha as members. They went on to win the popular 1994 nations cup, something that warmed the hearts of Nigerians far and wide and renewed our patriotism.One would recall that, before then, Nigeria hadn’t won the trophy since 1980 when the Green Eagles won the nation’s first ever continental trophy.
2). Helping Togo qualify for the World Cup

While coaching the Togolese national team, Keshi helped qualify a relatively unknown and untested team for the country’s first ever world cup appearance in 2006.

He achieved this from a qualification group that had heavy African titans like Senegal and Mali.
3). Keshi won Nigeria her 3rd Nations Cup Trophy

On February 13,2013, Stephen Keshi, while spearheading the affairs of the Nigerian national team, steered the country to win its third nations cup trophy ever. Achieving this made him the second person apart from Mahmoud El- Gohary, to win the trophy as a player and a coach.
Other notable feats by Keshi include:
Being the longest reigning captain of the national team. He captained the team for 13 years from 1981-1994.
He was the second black coach to win the Africa Cup of Nations since YEO Martial won it for Cote d’Ivoire in the year 1992.
Keshi was a superb tactician and national treasure. He will forever be remembered.
