He is noted for being Nigeria's most successful player and his tendency to score goals completely by accident. As well as being a striker for his national team, Kanu now plays for semi-professional UK club and pyramid scheme headquarters Portsmouth F.C. He has won African Player of the Year twice, and scored almost as many times in the past two years. Kanu is an important find to sport and science in general. He is seen as something of a sporting paradox in that although he lacks any kind of grace or skill with the ball, he somehow manages to scrape by with sheer luck.

- Nwankwo Kanu (born 1 August 1976 in Owerri, Nigeria) is the most decorated African footballer in history but will mostly be remembered for having a name you can’t have and doing a silly dance when he scores. Never one for running, languid Nigerian striker Kanu has won the Champions League, the UEFA Cup, three FA Cups, two African Player of the Year awards, the Premiership and the Olympics without breaking sweat. Unable to take football remotely seriously, Kanu breaks into a silly slow dance that can take as long as six minutes every time he scores.

Never one for running, languid Nigerian striker Kanu has won the Champions League, the UEFA Cup, three FA Cups, two African Player of the Year awards, the Premiership and the Olympics without breaking sweat. Indeed, the lanky goal-getter can often be seen mocking teammates who break into a sprint. Sometimes for 80 minutes, Kanu will lean against one of the posts before dropping back into an onside position, batting the ball between his rubbery legs and slotting it home. Unable to take football remotely seriously, Kanu breaks into a silly slow dance that can take as long as six minutes every time he scores.
