Born on the 27th of August 1952 in Lagos, Patrick Olusegun Odegbami remains one of the most iconic figures in Nigerian and African football. The ex-captain of the Nigerian Green Eagles and sports journalist, who played as a forward, won 46 caps and scored 23 goals for the Nigeria national team which he guided to its first Africa Cup of Nations title at the 1980 tournament in his homeland. The “Mathematical” as he is fondly called, is admired not only for his brilliance on the pitch, but for the discipline, intelligence, and restraint that defined his game.
