His strike made many fans remember his days as a footballer, when he scored many brilliant goals at club level and also for the Super Eagles - Nigeria's national team.

George was undoubtedly a joy to watch on the pitch in years gone by, considering his pace, power, team spirit, and goal-scoring skills which made him an Ajax signing.

His move to the Dutch giants in 1993 was an incredible one, with the European club bringing him over from the now-defunct Nigerian club, Sharks of Port Harcourt.
