What’s Yakubu doing there ?
MISSISSIPPI was a prolific goal scorer, especially for his clubs. Banged in lots of goals in the Premier league, and the Israeli league.
But he is remembered most for the monumental miss against South Korea in the 2010 world cup.
That’s life. It’s that miss that endures in people’s memory.
